More quotes by Stephen Covey
I see myself living by correct principles and accomplishing worthy purposes. One of my favorite quotes is, The greatest battles of life are fought out every day in the silent chambers of one's own soul. (David O. McKay).
Stephen Covey
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
Stephen Covey
Leaders are not born or made - they are self made
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
Distinguish between the person and the behavior or performance.
Stephen Covey
My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.
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
When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
Stephen Covey
Do what is important, not what is urgent.
Stephen Covey
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile.
Stephen Covey
What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.
Stephen Covey
A moment of choice is a moment of truth.
Stephen Covey
Affirm people. Affirm your children. Believe in them, not in what you see but in what you don't see - their potential.
Stephen Covey
Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.
Stephen Covey
Perhaps the greatest role of parenting, more than directing and telling children what to do, [is] helping [children] connect with their own gifts, particularly conscience.
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
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
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.
