More quotes by Stephen Covey
It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
Stephen Covey
People who end up with the good jobs are the proactive ones who are solutions to problems, not problems themselves, who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
You have two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.

Integrity in the Moment of Choice: Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.
Stephen Covey
A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
Stephen Covey
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
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. I believe that to the degree people live by this inspired conscience, they will grow to fulfill their natures to the degree that they do not, they will not rise above the animal plane.
Stephen Covey
We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.
Stephen Covey
My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.
Stephen Covey
If you put good people in bad systems you get bad results. You have to water the flowers you want to grow.
Stephen Covey
An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.
Stephen Covey
Would you not agree that relationships are built on trust? Would you not also agree that most individuals think more in terms of me-my wants, my needs, my rights? What would wisdom dictate - would it not direct us to focus on trust-building principles and sacrificing 'me' for 'we'?
Stephen Covey
Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
Stephen Covey
True greatness will be achieved through the abundant mind that works selflessly - with mutual respect, for mutual benefit.
Stephen Covey
Remember, technology is a great servant, but a terrible master.
Stephen Covey
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
Stephen Covey
Only as we keep an open communication with our deep inner life will we have the wisdom to make effective choices.
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
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.
