More quotes by Stephen Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
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 most effective way I know to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed. It focused on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based.
Stephen Covey
Nevertheless, the only way we can move from where we are now to where we would like to be is to accept where we are now.
Stephen Covey

Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
Stephen Covey
Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.
Stephen Covey
The core of any family is what is changeless, what is going to be there──shared vision and values.
Stephen Covey
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.
Stephen Covey
At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself.
Stephen Covey
The key to motivation is motive.
