CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAttitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hopes. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLOh, how horrible our sins look when they are committed by someone else.
