More quotes by Stephen Covey

Image
The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings.
Stephen Covey
Image
The great contributors in life are those who, though afraid of the knock at the door, still answer it.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we spend most of our time concerned about things we cannot truly directly influence, what we can influence will be reduced. If we spend our energies on those things over which we can expect positive results, we will expand our influence.
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

Stephen Covey

Image
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
Stephen Covey
Image
Success is when you realize obstacles you face are challenges to help you become better - and your response equals the challenge.
Stephen Covey
Image
Being humble does not mean being weak, reticent, or self-effacing. It means recognizing principle and putting it ahead of self. It means standing firmly for principle, even in the fact of opposition.
Stephen Covey
Image
Strength lies in differences, not in similarities
Stephen Covey
Image

Interdependence is a choice only independent people can make
Stephen Covey
Image
Leaders are not born or made - they are self made
Stephen Covey
Image
The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.
Stephen Covey
Image
If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.
Stephen Covey
Image
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
Stephen Covey
Image
Your power to choose your direction of your life allows you to reinvent yourself, to change your future, and to powerfully influence the rest of creation.
Stephen Covey
Image
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.
Stephen Covey
Image
You will never be able to truly step inside another person, to see the world as he sees it, until you develop the pure desire, the strength of personal character, and the positive Emotional Bank Account, as well as the empathetic listening skills to do it.
