More quotes by Stephen Covey
..people are working harder than ever, but because they lack clarity and vision, they aren’t getting very far. They, in essence, are pushing a rope...with all of their might.
Stephen Covey
Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again.
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
The only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
Stephen Covey
We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.
