Stephen Covey
I believe that correct principles are natural laws, and that God, the Creator and Father of us all, is the source of them, and also the source of our conscience.

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
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
