Stephen Covey said: "We control our actions, but the consequences that result from these actions are controlled by the principles."

In his book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Stephen Covey defines the principle as "a natural law like gravity. It is different from value. Values are subjective; principles are objective. Gravity ... if you drop something, gravity will control the process of falling. "
