See some of Stephen Covey’s noted Quotes (Wisdom) below:

“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.”

“Live out of your imagination, not your history.”

“Between stimulus and response is our greatest power – the freedom to choose”

“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.”

“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.”
