More quotes by Stephen Covey
We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.
Stephen Covey
Taking initiative is a form of self-empowerment.
Stephen Covey
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
The principle of fasting is taught in almost all major world religions as a means of developing a higher level of self-mastery and self-control, and also a deeper awareness of how really dependent we are.
Stephen Covey
The only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen Covey
If we know how to listen to our own heart, we can listen to the hearts of others.
Stephen Covey
The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.
Stephen Covey
It is extremely ironic that the more we care about what people think about us the less we care about people, and the less we care about what people think about us the more we begin to care for others
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.
Stephen Covey
Sometimes poor behavior is simply bad execution of good intent.
Stephen Covey
Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
Stephen Covey
We not not our feelings. We are not our moods. We not even our thoughts.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots. It's the principle of sequencing: Private Victories proceed Public Victories. Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.
Stephen Covey
The key to the 99 is the one. Or, put another way, the key to the group is the one individual. Think about the one, talk to the one, regard the one, serve the one. If you are sincere and constant, you will discover that gradually your influence with the many will be magnified.
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
Stephen Covey
It's not that we ignore our weaknesses rather, we make our weaknesses irrelevant by working effectively with others so that we compensate for our weaknesses through their strengths and they compensate for their weaknesses through our strengths.
Stephen Covey
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
Happen to things, don't let things happen to you
