„Different cultures may translate these principles into different practices and over time may even totally obscure these principles through the wrongful use of freedom. Nevertheless, they are present. Like the law of gravity, they operate constantly.“
— Stephen R. Covey, buch The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
The 8th Habit : From Effectiveness to Greatness (2004)
Kontext: Principles are universal — that is, they transcend culture and geography. They're also timeless, they never change — principles such as fairness, kindness, respect, honesty, integrity, service, contribution. Different cultures may translate these principles into different practices and over time may even totally obscure these principles through the wrongful use of freedom. Nevertheless, they are present. Like the law of gravity, they operate constantly.

„Values are social norms — they're personal, emotional, subjective, and arguable. All of us have values. Even criminals have values.“
— Stephen R. Covey, buch The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
The 8th Habit : From Effectiveness to Greatness (2004)
Kontext: Values are social norms — they're personal, emotional, subjective, and arguable. All of us have values. Even criminals have values. The question you must ask yourself is, Are your values based upon principles? In the last analysis, principles are natural laws — they're impersonal, factual, objective and self-evident. Consequences are governed by principles and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!
