More quotes by Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Our behavior is governed by principles. Living in harmony with them brings positive consequences violating them brings negative consequences.

You can't change the fruit without changing the root.
Stephen Covey
It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy - very busy - without being very effective.
Stephen Covey
The greatest risk is the risk of riskless living.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
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
We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.

Stephen Covey
The key to the 99 is the one. Or, put another way, the key to the group is the one individual. Think about the one, talk to the one, regard the one, serve the one. If you are sincere and constant, you will discover that gradually your influence with the many will be magnified.
Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey
Perhaps a sense of possessing needs to come to come before a sense of genuine sharing.
Stephen Covey
Sacrifice really means giving up something good for something better.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots. It's the principle of sequencing: Private Victories proceed Public Victories. Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.
