Charles Swindoll quotes

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. (Charles Swindoll)
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. View quote

Charles Swindoll

Charles Swindoll
