John Calvin

The wicked are a kind of chaff, that the wind driveth away.

We cannot be sure of our salvation unless we have known our condemnation.

It is not in our power to believe, but it is the gift of God.

God always remains true to himself.

Our hearts are so prone to idolatry that we cannot but be continually forging new gods for ourselves.

Prayer is the chief exercise of faith.

The greater the sinner, the greater the need for God's grace.

We are poor, miserable sinners, but God is rich in mercy.

It is not enough to have a good cause, but we must also have a good conscience.

The best way to overcome evil is to do good.

We are never so much ourselves as when we are in Christ.

The whole life of a Christian should be a perpetual exercise of repentance.

God has no greater enemy than the proud man.

The mind of man is an abyss of error.

We are not called to be popular, but to be faithful.

Our salvation depends on the free election of God.

The more we know God, the more we humble ourselves.

Faith is a firm and certain knowledge of God's benevolence toward us.

We are pilgrims and strangers on earth.

There is nothing more miserable than man without God.
