More quotes by Stephen Covey
The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.
Stephen Covey
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.
Stephen Covey
Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.
Stephen Covey
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity.
Stephen Covey
The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
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
Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. Nothing is as fulfilling as a relationship of trust. Nothing is as inspiring as an offering of trust. Nothing is as profitable as the economics of trust. Nothing has more influence than a reputation of trust.
Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.
Stephen Covey
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
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
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
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
The enemy of the best is often the good.
Stephen Covey
The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.
Stephen Covey
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
Stephen Covey
It's like the more you know the more you know you don't know.
Stephen Covey
By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.
