Stephen Covey
Only after we can learn to forgive ourselves can we accept others as they are because we don't feel threatened by anything about them which is better than us.

Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
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
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
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
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
Stephen Covey
Whether we are aware of it or not, whether we are in control of it or not, there is a first creation to every part of our lives. We are either the second creation of our own proactive design, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits.
Stephen Covey
If you are an effective manager of your self, your discipline comes from within it is a function of your independent will.
