More quotes by Stephen Covey
Trust is the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.
Stephen Covey
You will never be able to truly step inside another person, to see the world as he sees it, until you develop the pure desire, the strength of personal character, and the positive Emotional Bank Account, as well as the empathetic listening skills to do it.
Stephen Covey
What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.
Stephen Covey
Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.
Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more when we expect less, we tend to get less.
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
Perhaps a sense of possessing needs to come to come before a sense of genuine sharing.
Stephen Covey
You basically get what you reward. If you want to achieve the goals and reflect the values in your mission statement, then you need to align the reward system with these goals and values.
Stephen Covey
Our greatest joy and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others.
Stephen Covey
The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.
Stephen Covey
It's not enough to have values without vision you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler . An empowering mission statement deals with both character and competence what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.
Stephen Covey
The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.
Stephen Covey
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
Success comes from the ability to view each arising problem as an opportunity for self improvement.
