Billy Graham

Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death. ”

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

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. ”

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face. ”

No matter how prepared you think you are for the death of a loved one, it still comes as a shock, and it still hurts very deeply. ”

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don't complain. ”

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world. ”

I don't think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do. ”

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.' ”

I don't need a successor, only willing hands to accept the torch for a new generation. ”
