More quotes by Stephen Covey
We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
Stephen Covey
Proactive people carry their own weather with them.
Stephen Covey
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
Stephen Covey
It's like the more you know the more you know you don't know.
Stephen Covey
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen Covey
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
Stephen Covey
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
Stephen Covey
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
Principles are the simplicity on the far side of complexity.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
We can never really change someone people must change themselves.
Stephen Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
Stephen Covey
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
I think that [respect for people] is of profound importance because it means you are caring and you trust them to do the right thing.
Stephen Covey
The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.
Stephen Covey
If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
Stephen Covey
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Stephen Covey
The key to motivation is motive. It's the why. It's the deeper yes! burning inside that makes it easier to say no to the less important.
Stephen Covey
Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
