Life & Ministry of Billy Graham
Graham Quotables

"Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God."

"You're born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there's a loophole."

"God is unchanging in His love. He loves you. He has a plan for your life. Don't let the newspaper headlines frighten you. God is still sovereign; He's still on the throne."

"It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray."

"It is unnatural for Christianity to be popular."

"I have been asked on hundreds of times in my life why God allows tragedy and suffering. I have to confess that I really do not know the answer totally, even to my own satisfaction. I have to accept, by faith, that God is sovereign, and He is a God of love and mercy and compassion in the midst of suffering."

"There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men."

"Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength."

"America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education. Many of the nation's greatest universities were founded by evangelists and religious leaders; but many of these have lost the founders concept and become secular institutions. Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering."

"A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone."

"The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same."

"I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right."

"No man ever loved like Jesus. He taught the blind to see and the dumb to speak. He died on the cross to save us. He bore our sins. And now God says, Because He did, I can forgive you."

"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life."

"Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out."

"Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ."

"God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with."

"The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."

"I can tell you that God is alive because I talked to him this morning."

"Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children."
