Billy Graham's Quotes
- [1993] Is AIDS a judgment of God? I could not say for sure, but I think so.
- [on church] Churchgoers are like coals of fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
- [on forgiveness] If His conditions are met, God is bound by His Word to forgive any man or any woman of any sin because of Christ.
- [9/11 sermon] The dead are in paradise and would not return to us if they could.
- We sometimes forget that some of the loneliest people in the world are those who are constantly in the public eye. They have spiritual needs like everyone else.
