We are product of neither nature nor nurture we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between stimulus and response. As we wisely exercise our power to choose based on principles, the space will become larger.
Stephen Covey
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.
Stephen Covey
Trust is clearly a key competency. A competency or skill that can be learned, taught, and improved and one that talent can be screened for.

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
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
Without exception, empathy is always appropriate.
Stephen Covey
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.
Stephen Covey
By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.
Stephen Covey
I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we got through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust - trust that is actually stronger because it's been tested and proved through challenge.
Stephen Covey
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.
Stephen Covey
Interdependency follows independence.
Stephen Covey
Fundamentally, we are a product of choice, not nature (genes) or nurture (upbringing, environment).
