Stephen R. Covey

Love – THE FEELING – is a fruit of love, the verb.

Accountability breeds response-ability.

It’s easy to say no! when there’s a deeper yes! burning inside.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.

The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.

Decide what you want, and decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.

If your watch is slow by just four minutes, that’s not much – unless you’ve been warned that if you’re even one minute late ever again you will be fired. Then four minutes make a big difference.

I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.

Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

The ability to manage well doesn’t make much difference if you’re not even in the right jungle.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

If you are going to dream, dream big.

Maybe I shouldn’t have these dreams and aspirations. Maybe I should have given up on life ten years ago and stopped fighting for my truth.

How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?

A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
