Billy Graham Quotes

People all say that I've had a bad break. But today... today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed.

In a world that contains tragedies, we must realize that they’re vastly outnumbered by blessings

I want to focus on God's grace and give thanks for all the good things in my life. I don't want to focus on what I don't have.

There's a blessing in everything that happens to us.

Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing.

Ours is a bad, bad world, but does that mean nothing's good? Does it mean we have run out of things for which to be grateful? No, no, a thousand times, no!

I try to count the blessings rather than the problems.

Unless you're completely exploded, there's always something to be grateful for.

Yeah, sometimes life really sucks. But you know what I'm holding on for? The moments that don't suck. The trick is to notice them when they come around.

Sometimes we forget to be grateful until we survive a trauma. For example, after having the flu when you ache all over, throw up for hours, and have little people pounding in your head with hammers, it is sheer bliss just to eat a piece of toast, walk outside without getting dizzy, and breathe fresh air. Part of the journey toward joy involves not waiting around for trouble, but being continuously aware of our blessings.

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

If I do look back, I'll say that I'm blessed. I'm blessed, and I appreciate God for not only letting me live through everything, but to prosper.

We can always find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we ought to be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.

I have never, ever focused on the negative of things. I always look at the positive.

When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There's still so much to be grateful for.

You can't always look at life as a miserable thing.

It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.

Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

Of all the unhappiness I went through, you must know I wouldn't live a moment of my life differently for what I have now. Would I do it all again? I wouldn't want to, but if it got me to the same place, yeah, I'd do it. Because I realize now that God would not give more than I could handle.

I am so thankful for the many things I have been blessed with.

I only take the positives, and I don't take the negatives.

The life that counts blessings discovers its yielding more than it seems.
