Billy Graham

God's hand never slips. He never makes a mistake. His every move is for our own good and for our ultimate good.

Don't let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

God knows what we are going through when we grieve, and He wants to assure us of His love and concern. He also wants us to turn to Him and bring our heartaches and burdens to Him.

Whenever I counsel someone who feels called to be an evangelist, I always urge them to guard their time and not feel like they have to do everything.

One of the things I miss most is that I can no longer read, due to age-related macular degeneration. I get regular injections for this, and thankfully these seem to have arrested its progress, but it's still very difficult for me to read. That means it is hard for me to pick up my Bible and read it like I used to, and I miss that very much.

I don't have to see a murder in order to condemn murder.

I wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.

There is no scriptural basis for segregation.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn't, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

I haven't written my own epitaph, and I'm not sure I should. Whatever it is, I hope it will be simple, and that it will point people not to me, but to the One I served.

When I was young, I could not imagine being old. My mother said, and the doctor confirmed, that I had an unusual amount of energy; and it followed me into young adulthood.

The human heart is the same the world over.

I think where political issues invade moral situations, spiritual leaders have to speak out.

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life.

I've been praying that we might have a spiritual awakening. But I think that becomes possible as individuals surrender their lives fresh and anew to Christ.

Auschwitz stands as a tragic reminder of the terrible potential man has for violence and inhumanity.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don't be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

No one can outrun death. It will catch up to all of us eventually.

Death wasn't part of God's original plan for humanity, and the Bible calls death an enemy - the last enemy to be destroyed.

What a moment to take the newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other and watch the unfolding of the great drama of the ages. This is an exciting and thrilling time to be alive. I would not want to live in any other period.

Don't let past mistakes keep you from seeking God
