Zitate und Sprüche von Billy Graham

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

The influence of a mother upon the lives of her children cannot be measured. They know and absorb her example and attitudes when it comes to questions of honesty, temperance, kindness, and industry.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

Johnny Cash's legacy, I think if it was one word, it would be 'integrity.' He was the original wild man and grew from that guy that was doing all the crazy things that you read that rock n' rollers do to being someone who was like the father of our country, you know. He was a guest at the White House. He was Billy Graham's friend.

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.

Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.

If our children have the background of a godly, happy home and this unshakable faith that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, they will have a foundation that the forces of hell cannot shake.

If I marry: He must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. His shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. His lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. Love must be so deep that it takes its stand in Christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. He must be active enough to save souls. He must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. His arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

My job is to take care of the possible and to trust God with the impossible.

It is a foolish woman who expects her husband to be to her that which only Jesus Christ Himself can be: always ready to forgive, totally understanding, unendingly patient, invariably tender and loving, unfailing in every area, anticipating every need, and making more than adequate provision. Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain

Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we're inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man but let him be like You; I do not need one big and strong nor yet so very tall, nor need he be some genius, or wealthy, Lord, at all; but let his head be high, dear God, and let his eye be clear, his shoulders straight, whate'er his state, whate'er his earthly sphere; and let his face have character, a ruggedness if soul, and let his whole life show, dear God, a singleness of goal; then when he comes (as he will come) with quiet eyes aglow, I'll understand that he's the man I prayed for long ago.

God has not always answered my prayers. If He had, I would have married the wrong man -- several times!

Worship and worry cannot live in the same heart: they are mutually exclusive.

If I cannot give my children a perfect mother I can at least give them more of the one they've got--and make that one more loving. I will be available. I will take time to listen, time to play, time to be home when they arrive from school, time to counsel and encouerage.

I think losing a loved one must be a little like losing a leg. First there is the shock, then the anesthetic, and the painkillers; the attention of doctors and nurses, flowers and cards and visits from friends. But sooner or later you have to learn to walk without it.

We cannot pray and remain the same.

Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed

I think that for me, as a UNC graduate, I value my education - I think everyone who's gone to that university values education.

Michael: "Don't forget my North Carolina shorts!"
Daffy: "Your shorts? From college?"
Michael: "I wore them under my Chicago Bulls uniform every game."
Looney Tunes: "Eeeew."
Michael: "I washed them after every game."
Daffy: "Hahaha... sure!"

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a flight to North Carolina - and that's pretty much the same thing.

You can leave Charlotte, but it will never leave you.

To the city of Charlotte, I can't wait to start the next chapter in my career! I am ready to play for another incredible organization with the Charlotte Hornets. Let's get it!

I am grateful every morning I wake up. I've a big family full of kids, who laugh all the time and love each other.

I feel like I'm kind of lazy, but I keep the yard looking good.

You don't paddle against the current, you paddle with it. And if you get good at it, you throw away the oars.

In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused
And the government for which she stands
Has scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in
Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

The Jedi are trained to let go. They're trained from birth. They're not supposed to form attachments. They can love people – in fact, they should love everybody. They should love their enemies; they should love the Sith. But they can't form attachments. So what all these movies are about is: greed. Greed is a source of pain and suffering for everybody.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
