Question: Are these things really principles? I can see Love, Truth etc. as values but a principle seems like it should be, "an accepted or professed rule of action or conduct" (thanks dictionary.com ).

eg. Covey's principles were things like "Be proactive" and "Think Win/Win" ie they were instructions on what to do.
