Stephen R. Covey

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

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

You can’t live principals you can’t understand.

Time management is really a misnomer; the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

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

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

When you make a promise, keep it.

The more you can dream, the more you can do.

The way to succeed is to double your error rate.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.

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

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

You already have every characteristic necessary for success if you recognize, claim, develop and use them.

I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others.

Lack of direction not lack of time is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

The world’s most deadly disease is hardening of the attitudes.

Sometimes if you’re lucky someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart no one else can fill.

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

Fact: If standard of living is your number one objective, quality of life almost never improves. But if quality of life is your number one objective, standard of living invariably improves.
