Image
It comes from within.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
Principles are natural laws that are external to us and that ultimately control the consequences of our actions. Values are internal and subjective and represent that which we feel strongest about in guiding our behavior.
Stephen Covey
Image
I win the private victory when I have made my mind up and commit to live by correct principles and to serve worthy purposes.
Stephen Covey
Image
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
Image
One of the best ways to educate our hearts is to look at our interaction with other people, because our relationships with others are fundamentally a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.
Stephen Covey
Image
If you don't have confidence in the diagnosis, you won't have confidence in the prescription.
Stephen Covey
Image
An abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinions, possessions, or associations.
Stephen Covey
Image
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey
Image
Trust is a function of both character and competence. Of course you can't trust someone who lacks integrity, but if someone is honest but they can't perform, you're not going to trust them either. You won't trust them to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
Image
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
Image
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.
Stephen Covey
Image
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
Stephen Covey
Image
The core of any family is what is changeless, what is going to be there──shared vision and values.
Stephen Covey
Image
Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love the verb.
Stephen Covey
Image
We may be very busy, we may be very 'efficient', but we will also be truly 'effective' only when we begin with the end in mind.
Stephen Covey
Image
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
Image
Without exception, empathy is always appropriate.
