"There are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ."
"I am constantly concerned about being quoted in the press and perhaps saying the wrong thing or having what I say misinterpreted and bringing reproach to the name of Christ. People do not come to hear what Billy Graham has to say; they want to hear what God has to say. Jesus tells us not to be misled by the voices of strangers. There are so many strange voices being heard in the religious world of our day. We must compare what they say with the Word of God."

"We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?"
"Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day."
"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys."
"Don't let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door - if we seek it."
"God will never send anybody to hell. If man goes to hell, he goes by his own free choice."
