American author of the bestselling book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, as well as other books.
Stephen Covey
We are product of neither nature nor nurture; we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between stimulus and response. As we wisely exercise our power to choose based on principles, the space will become larger.
Covey quotes
Often we are so busy with sawing that we forget to sharpen the saw..
Covey
There will be real happiness, peace of mind and balance, when living by heart and right-mindedly.




Covey Stephen quotes
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Covey Stephen
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Stephen Covey quotes
We present a dramatically different approach to time management. This is a principle-centered approach. It transcends the traditional prescriptions of faster, harder, smarter, and more. Rather than offering you another clock, this approach provides you with a compass — because more important than how fast you're going, is where you're headed.
Stephen Covey
Courage is not the absence of fear but the awareness that something else is more important.
Covey Stephen quotes
Spiritual Intelligence represents our drive for meaning and connection with the infinite.
Covey
Integrity in the Moment of Choice
Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.
Covey Stephen
Unless we exercise our power to choose wisely, our actions will be determined by conditions. Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements — win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability — can flourish.




Stephen Covey quotes
Best's enemy is Good.
Stephen Covey
Our life is result of our choices.
Covey quotes
Let natural consequences teach responsible behavior. One of the kindest things we can do is to let the natural or logical consequences of people's actions teach them responsible behavior. They may not like it or us, but popularity is a fickle standard by which to measure character development. Insisting on justice demands more true love, not less. We care enough for their growth and security to suffer their displeasure.
Covey Stephen
There are three constants in life…change, choice and principles.
Covey Stephen quotes
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Stephen Covey
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Stephen Covey quotes
Prepare your mind and heart before you prepare your speech. What we say may be less important than how we say it.
Stephen Covey
Retire from your job but never from meaningful projects. If you want to live a long life, you need eustress, that is, a deep sense of meaning and contribution to worthy projects and causes, particularly your intergenerational family.
Covey Stephen
Self growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no higher investment.
