Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love the verb.

More quotes by Stephen Covey
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Stephen Covey
When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called 'success'. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a 'failure'.
Stephen Covey
If we can't make and keep commitments to ourselves as well as to others, our commitments become meaningless.
Stephen Covey
When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.
Stephen Covey
Life is a mission, not a career.
Stephen Covey
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
When we say that leadership is a choice, it basically means you can choose the level of initiative you want to exercise in response to the question, ‘What is the best I can do under the given circumstances?’
Stephen Covey
If there's one thing that's certain in business, it's uncertainty.
Stephen Covey
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Stephen Covey
Over time, I have come to this simple definition of leadership: Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.
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
Don't prioritize your schedule, schedule those priorities.
Stephen Covey
Interdependency follows independence.
Stephen Covey
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.
Stephen Covey
The role of the leader is to foster mutual respect and build a complementary team where each strength is made productive and each weakness irrelevant.
Stephen Covey
Most leaders would agree that they’d be better off having an average strategy with superb execution than a superb strategy with poor execution. Those who execute always have the upper hand.
