I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

In this remark Graham describes a disciplined, practical approach to devotional reading: Psalms as a school of prayer and relationship with God, and Proverbs as a guide to everyday ethics and social conduct. The pairing reflects a classic evangelical emphasis on Scripture as both worship-forming and behavior-shaping—Psalms giving language for praise, lament, confession, and trust, while Proverbs offers concise moral instruction about speech, money, anger, work, and relationships. The quote also implies that spiritual maturity is not merely emotional experience but daily formation: communion with God should translate into wisdom and charity toward others. It encapsulates Graham’s pastoral style—simple, habitual, and oriented toward lived application.
