Billy Graham
Every President I think I've ever known, except Truman, has thought they didn't quite get done what they wanted done. And toward the end of their Administrations, they were disappointed and wished they had done some things differently.
There are a lot of groups that feel a little bit strange around me, because I am inclusive.
Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.
We're a diverse society, and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we're all human beings, that we can all get along, that we can all be together, and I think that's a marvelous thing.
I am not a televangelist.
Sincere Christians can disagree about the details of Scripture and theology - absolutely.
Rose Adams is a wonderful Christian woman who cared for my mother, Morrow Coffey Graham, in her last years of life.
There's a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we're to watch for, and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we're close to the end of the age.

As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God's definition of marriage, between a man and a woman.
I first met Bev Shea while in Chicago when he was on Moody Radio. As a young man starting my ministry, I asked Bev if he would join me. He said yes, and for over 60 years we had the privilege of ministering together across the country and around the world.
Oral Roberts was a man of God and a great friend in ministry. I loved him as a brother.
It was a privilege to pray with Governor Romney - for his family and our country.
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.
I have never changed my message. I preach the Bible, and I preach it with authority.
The New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.
I found that this Parkinson's does slow you down, whether you want to slow down or not.
Evangelicals can't be closely identified with any particular party or person. We have to stand in the middle, to preach to all the people, right and left.
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn't, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.
Old is authentic. Old is genuine. Old is valuable.
I don't need a successor, only willing hands to accept the torch for a new generation.
I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.
To start with, I love New York... It's a little bit of the whole world... In New York, the whole world comes to you.
God has given us two hands - one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.
God never meant that people were to wear clothes. He meant we were to be nude. But we were in a state of innocence. Then sin came into the human race and became a blood poisoning.
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.
We are not cisterns made for hoarding, we are channels made for sharing.
My heart aches for America and its deceived people.
Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?
Everywhere I go I find that people... both leaders and individuals... are asking one basic question, 'Is there any hope for the future?' My answer is the same, 'Yes, through Jesus Christ.'
Only the supernatural love of God through changed lives can solve the problems that we face in our world.
It's no secret that in New York during the last 30 years there has been a tragic exodus from the churches into materialism, secularism and humanism.
God's angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.
Certainly a woman should never disguise the fact that she is a woman. A woman's body is very beautiful.
Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.

A calling is you feel - you look out and see the need - maybe it's the need for the poor, to help poor people. Maybe it's the need to get involved in the race problem, as Martin Luther King was - felt called.
The older I get, the more important the eternal becomes to me personally.
The time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.
I am amazed at the wonders of technology and am grateful for the ways in which we are able to use it to share the Gospel around the world.
