Additional quotes by John Calvin

There are people who are known to be very liberal, yet they never give without scolding or pride or even insolence.

And at this day, the blessedness brought to us by Christ cannot be the subject of our praise, without reminding us, at the same time, of the distinguished honor which God was pleased to bestow on Mary, in making her the mother of his Only Begotten Son.

If God has bestowed on us any excellent gift, we imagine it to be our own achievement; and we swell and even burst with pride.

For astronomy is not only pleasant, but also very useful to be known: it cannot be denied that this art unfolds the admirable wisdom of God. - John Calvin
