I fly myself everywhere. I like all kinds of flying, including practical flying for search and rescue. And I also like to fly into the backcountry, usually the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. I go with a group of friends, and we set up camp for about five days and explore little dirt strips and canyons. - Harrison Ford
Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience. - Stephen Covey
The reality is that everybody makes mistakes. The issue isn't whether you will make them, it's what you will do about them. It's whether you will choose the path of humility and courage or the path of ego and pride. - Stephen Covey
If you can hire people whose passion intersects with the job, they won't require any supervision at all. They will manage themselves better than anyone could ever manage them. Their fire comes from within, not from without. Their motivation is internal, not external. - Stephen Covey
Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly. - Stephen Covey
You can retire from a job, but don't ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life. - Stephen Covey
Prepare your mind and heart before you prepare your speech . What we say may be less important than how we say it. - Stephen Covey

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a 'transformer' in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader. - Stephen Covey
If two people have the same opinion, one is unnecessary. ... I don't want to talk, to communicate, with someone who agrees with me; I want to communicate with you because you see it differently. I value that difference. - Stephen Covey
When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well. - Stephen Covey
Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking. - Stephen Covey
We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions. - Stephen Covey
Little kindness and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things. - Stephen Covey
Listen to your conscience regarding something that you simply know you should do, then start small on it - make a promise and keep it. Then move forward and make a little larger promise and keep it. Eventually you'll discover that your sense of honor will become greater than your moods, and that will give you a level of confidence and excitement that you can move to other areas where you feel you need to make improvements or give service. - Zig Ziglar
If you put good people in bad systems you get bad results. You have to water the flowers you want to grow. - Stephen Covey
