More quotes by Stephen Covey
Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
Stephen Covey
One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment.
Stephen Covey
Patience is emotional diligence.
Stephen Covey
A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
Stephen Covey
