Stephen R. Covey

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

It’s a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

Accountability breeds response-ability.

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one’s heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.

I am a visceral person by nature. I act on instinct, quickly, without pondering possible disaster and without indulging in deep introspection.

You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be. Accept the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking.

Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.

Hold yourself to a higher standard than anybody else expects of you.

If you want to earn more, learn more.

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. That is why they remain bound.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.

He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.

I maintained my edge by always being a student; you will always have something new to learn.
