More quotes by Stephen Covey
In the long run, you can never accomplish a worthy end with an unworthy means.
Stephen Covey
To know and not to do is not to know.
Stephen Covey
The power of transcendent vision is greater than the power of the scripting deep inside the human personality and it subordinates it [the scripting], submerges it, until the whole personality is reorganized in the accomplishment of that vision.
Stephen Covey
We do make a difference - one way or the other. We are responsible for the impact of our lives. Whatever we do with whatever we have, we leave behind us a legacy for those who follow.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success.
Stephen Covey
While values drive behaviors, principles govern consequences.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.
Stephen Covey
Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.
Stephen Covey
I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.
Stephen Covey
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
Stephen Covey
Win-win is a belief in the Third Alternative. It's not your way or my way it's a better way, a higher way.
Stephen Covey
We all go through stages. Concerns about appearances, making good impressions, being popular, comparing yourself to others, having unbridled ambition, wanting to make money, striving to be recognized and noticed and trying to establish yourself, all fade as your responsibilities and character grow.
