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.

More quotes by Stephen Covey
It is extremely ironic that the more we care about what people think about us the less we care about people, and the less we care about what people think about us the more we begin to care for others
Stephen Covey
As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods.
Stephen Covey
In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning - and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Stephen Covey
Response-ability is the ABILITY to choose our response to any circumstance or condition.
Stephen Covey
Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots.
Stephen Covey
Consequences are governed by principles, and behavior is governed by values therefore, value principles!
Stephen Covey
We think we see the world as it is, when in fact we see the world as we are.
Stephen Covey
The power to distinguish between person and performance and to communicate intrinsic worth flows naturally out of our own sense of intrinsic worth.
Stephen Covey
To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.
Stephen Covey
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
Stephen Covey
Taking initiative is a form of self-empowerment.
Stephen Covey
We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more when we expect less, we tend to get less.
Stephen Covey
We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.
Stephen Covey
In a very real sense, there are only two roles in organisations: customers and suppliers. Everybody functions simultaneously in both roles, whether inside or outside the organisation the essence of good business, therefore, is the quality of the relationship between customer and supplier.
Stephen Covey
The highest challenge inside organizations is to enable each person to contribute his or her unique talents and passion to accomplish the organization's purpose.
Stephen Covey
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.
Stephen Covey
Without exception, empathy is always appropriate.
Stephen Covey
If we can't make and keep commitments to ourselves as well as to others, our commitments become meaningless.
Stephen Covey
