“Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Moses had a choice of following God or reveling in the pleasures of Egypt. As heir to the throne of Egypt, he enjoyed luxury; he didn’t desire to suffer or sacrifice any more than we do, but he chose to follow God. “He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Materialism may do what a foreign invader could never hope to achieve—materialism robs a nation of its spiritual strength.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Peter said: “If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (1 Peter 4:14).”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain



“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“An important verse to memorize is: “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise’” (Luke 23:42–43).”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“The Bible is a book of promises, and unlike the books of men, it doesn’t change or get out of date. The message I have been proclaiming for many years is basically the same—and God does not lie!”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Hope, like faith and a purpose in life, is medicinal.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain



“The results of family disintegration are seen all around us. Runaways. Child abuse. Abortions. It is dirty laundry—once hung in the nation’s backyard, but now hung shamelessly in front yards —flaunted in headlines and glamorized on television and in films.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16KJV).”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“Family prayer is a fourth vital link in the chain of spiritual strength—a strength we are trying to build to protect us from a world gone mad. Practicing prayer as a family, not just a flippant blessing before a meal, can give us the security we need.”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain


“One result of family failure has been the loss of dignity. No better example can be found than in the use of language. It’s a four-letter word in movies, on television, in comedy routines, and in real life. Time magazine asks, “Are the ’90s destined to be the Filth Decade?”
― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain

― Billy Graham, quote from Hope for the Troubled Heart: Finding God in the Midst of Pain

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
