More quotes by Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Interdependence is a choice only independent people can make
Stephen Covey
They [Nazi captors]had more liberty, more options to choose from in their environment but he [Viktor Frankl] had more freedom, more internal power to exercise his options.
Stephen Covey
Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.
Stephen Covey
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.
Stephen Covey
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
Stephen Covey
Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don't forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization.
Stephen Covey
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
We value the clock for its speed and efficiency. The clock has its place, efficiency has its place, after effectiveness. The symbol of effectiveness is the compass a sense of direction, purpose, vision, perspective, and balance. But the empowerment process itself is not efficient.
Stephen Covey
My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.
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
People and organizations don't grow much without delegation and completed staff work because they are confined to the capacities of the boss and reflect both personal strengths and weaknesses
Stephen Covey
we're responsible for our own lives.
Stephen Covey
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
Stephen Covey
Free your heart from hatred - forgive. Free your mind from worries - most never happen. Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
Stephen Covey
I see myself living by correct principles and accomplishing worthy purposes. One of my favorite quotes is, The greatest battles of life are fought out every day in the silent chambers of one's own soul. (David O. McKay).
Stephen Covey
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
We don't invent our missions, we detect them.
Stephen Covey
Every exaggeration of the truth once detected by others destroys our credibility and makes all that we do and say suspect.
Stephen Covey
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
