Danh ngôn của Charles R. Swindoll (Sứ mệnh: 3)

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
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.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
I am often the brunt of my own humor.
It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ, which we believe sets us right with God, the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.
Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.
The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.
It's the most exciting thing to watch God work when I've asked him about something, to listen to him and watch him work. It's like this friendship, and it just grows and grows and grows and grows.
We can't solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.
You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us; we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.
The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
