If you don't have confidence in the diagnosis, you won't have confidence in the prescription.
Stephen Covey
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
Stephen Covey
The personal power that comes from principle-centered living is the power of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others or by many of the circumstances and environmental influences that limit other people.
Stephen Covey
I win the private victory when I have made my mind up and commit to live by correct principles and to serve worthy purposes.
Stephen Covey

Don't cheat people of their growth. Empower them to solve problems and generate ideas. Watch them grow!
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
Stephen Covey
Highly effective people tend to be proactive. They decide to find a better job or to have better health, rather than of responding to whatever curves life throws at them.
Stephen Covey
Effective people are not problem-minded they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.
Stephen Covey
Without trust, the best we can do is compromise.
Stephen Covey
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
Stephen Covey
We do make a difference - one way or the other. We are responsible for the impact of our lives. Whatever we do with whatever we have, we leave behind us a legacy for those who follow.
Stephen Covey
Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.
Stephen Covey
People behave more on the basis of how they feel than how they think unless there are good feelings between people, it is almost impossible to reason intelligently.
