"...He said firmly, 'God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble.' 'Obviously,' I replied, 'they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it.' I, however, didn’t want to be helped, and I hadn’t time to work up interest for something that didn’t interest me."

"[Christ’s] goodness is still a rebuke to our badness; His purity still shows up our impurities; His sinlessness still reveals our sinfulness; and unless we allow [Jesus] to destroy the evil within us, the evil within us still wants to destroy Him. This is the conflict of the ages."
Billy Graham

"We are like fruitflies, measuring everything in terms of our own lifespan. But since our lifespans are so short, our perspective is entirely wrong.God, who inhabits eternity, sees things differently. He knows that our lives are just a mist. We should trust Him. It was not that long ago that Jesus came and it will not be that long before He returns."

"Whatever makes men good Christians makes them good citizens."
