Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Is it not arrogance or narrow-mindedness to claim that there is only one way of salvation or that the way we follow is the right way? I think not. After all, do we fault a pilot for being narrow-minded when he follows the instrument panel [while] landing in a rainstorm? No, we want him to remain narrowly focused!"

Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Man stands on the brink of hell. The forces building up in our world are so overwhelming that man everywhere is beginning to cry out in desperation: “What must I do to be saved?"
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Millions today want salvation, but on their own terms. They want to come their own way, and so we have hundreds of schemes and plans devised by men to regain paradise."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Man has rejected the revelation of the Bible concerning the true and living God of his fathers, and he has substituted gods of his own making. In actuality modern man has decided to dethrone God and enthrone himself in all of his nuclear glory."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"There may have been a time when pride was the very center of your life. You had ambitious thoughts of yourself, your powers, desires, and aims; but now that will begin to change . . . you have been born again."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Pride consists not in wanting to be rich, but in wanting to be richer than your neighbor. It is not in wanting to be noticed but in wanting to be the most noticed. It is not in wanting to have things but in wanting more things than others."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The destructive power of pride is that it countenances nothing higher than itself. Because of an inherent fault in our nature, man’s bias is on the side of error. In our willful desire to live independently of God, we have severed the lifeline that flows from the source of all life."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"We must not build up ourselves at the expense of others."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Pride always puts [self] above others—and cuts [itself] off from them as a result. No one likes an arrogant, prideful person."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Pride flees when we compare ourselves to God instead of [to] other people."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"One of the ironies of human nature is that it often has a way of rejecting the best and accepting the worst."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Acknowledge that there is a defect in human nature, a built-in waywardness that comes from man’s rebellion against God."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Man is a rebel, and a rebel is naturally in confusion. He is in conflict with every other rebel. For a rebel by his very nature is selfish. He is seeking his own good and not the good of others."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Some people have said that man has improved . . . [and] that if Christ came back today, He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception. Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read, in the form of churches that we do not attend, in the form of human need that we pass by. I am convinced that if Christ came back today, He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago. Sin never improves. Human nature has not changed."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The deepest problems of the human race are spiritual in nature. They are rooted in man’s refusal to seek God’s way for his life. The problem is the human heart, which God alone can change."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Flesh is the Bible’s word for unperfected human nature. Leaving off the “h” and spelling it in reverse, we have the word self. Flesh is the self-life: it is what we are when we are left to our own devices."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Man’s nature and destiny are revealed in the Scriptures."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Science, they say, can tap the brain of man and alter his desires. But the Bible, which has withstood the ravages of time . . . says that we are possessed of a sinful, fallen nature which wars against us."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Our worldly wisdom has made us calloused and hard. Our natural wisdom, as the Scriptures teach, comes not from God, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"In taking our human nature upon Himself, [Jesus] showed us what we might become, what God intended us to be."
