Stephen Covey

As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.

Stephen Covey

As you live your values, your sense of identity, integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with both exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather than by people’s opinions or by comparisons to others.

Stephen Covey

At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn’t believe in yourself.

Stephen Covey

At the height of maturity, there is no difference between knowledge and sentiment.

Attending church does not necessarily mean living the principles taught in those meetings. You can be active in a church but inactive in its gospel.

Stephen Covey

Be a function of your values rather than a function of the impulse or desire of any given moment.

Stephen Covey

Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.

Stephen Covey

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There is no greater investment. Grow or fall behind.

Stephen Covey

Because the struggle continues, I retire frequently to the solitude of my own inner self to recommit to win my battles privately, to get my motives straight.

Stephen Covey

Being humble does not mean being weak, reticent, or self-effacing. It means recognizing principle and putting it ahead of self. It means standing firmly for principle, even in the face of opposition.
