More quotes by Stephen Covey
You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
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
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
Stephen Covey
Principles are the territory. Values are maps.
Stephen Covey
To receive gratitude with grace is a form of gratitude by itself, and not always an easy art to master.
Stephen Covey
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
Stephen Covey
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
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
A moment of choice is a moment of truth.
Stephen Covey
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Stephen Covey
Consequences are governed by principles, and behavior is governed by values therefore, value principles!
Stephen Covey
Private victories precede public victories.
Stephen Covey
There is so much we can do to render service, to make a difference in the world - no matter how large or small our circle of influence.
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
When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
Stephen Covey
Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.
Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
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
In our personal lives, if we do not develop our own self-awareness and become responsible for first creations, we empower other people and circumstances to shape our lives by default.
Stephen Covey
