Charles R. Swindoll
The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds, the more beautiful the tree.

How important is the heart! It is there that character is formed. It alone holds the secrets of true success. It's treasures are priceless - but they can be stolen.
Charles R. Swindoll
Don't get older get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.
Charles R. Swindoll
Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.
Charles R. Swindoll
Adversity is a good test of our resiliency, our ability to cope, to stand back up, to recover from misfortune. Adversity is a painful pedagogue.
Charles R. Swindoll
The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.
Charles R. Swindoll
God's word is tailor-made for gray-slush days. It sends a beam of light through the fog. It signals safety when we fear we'll never make it through.
Charles R. Swindoll
When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.
Charles R. Swindoll
