More quotes by Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.
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 a very real sense, there are only two roles in organisations: customers and suppliers. Everybody functions simultaneously in both roles, whether inside or outside the organisation the essence of good business, therefore, is the quality of the relationship between customer and supplier.
Stephen Covey
The reality is that everybody makes mistakes. The issue isn't whether you will make them, it's what you will do about them. It's whether you will choose the path of humility and courage or the path of ego and pride.
Stephen Covey
An abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinions, possessions, or associations.
Stephen Covey
We can act instead of being acted upon.
Stephen Covey
Principles are the simplicity on the far side of complexity.
Stephen Covey
Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey
