Text Quotes
Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us  (John Calvin Quotes) All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good  (John Calvin Quotes) ... let everyone regard himself as the steward of God in all things which he possesses  (John Calvin Quotes) It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone  (John Calvin Quotes) Christ’s intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation  (John Calvin Quotes) God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation  (John Calvin Quotes) A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent  (John Calvin Quotes) All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors  (John Calvin Quotes) For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God  (John Calvin Quotes) God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray  (John Calvin Quotes) However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts  (John Calvin Quotes) Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain  (John Calvin Quotes) No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief  (John Calvin Quotes) There is no worse screen to block out the spirit than confidence in our own intelligence  (John Calvin Quotes) To be pure in heart is to take no delight in cunning, but converse sincerely with men, and express nothing, by word or look, which is not felt in the heart  (John Calvin Quotes) Faith is tossed about by various doubts, so that the minds of the godly are rarely at peace  (John Calvin Quotes) Hatred grows into insolence when we desire to excel the rest of mankind and imagine we do not belong to the common lot; we even severely and haughtily despise others as our inferiors  (John Calvin Quotes) The poor yield to the rich, the common people to the upper ten, the servants to their masters, the ignorant to the scholars; but there is nobody who does not imagine that he is really better than others  (John Calvin Quotes) We should never insult others on account of their faults, for it is our duty to show charity and respect to everyone  (John Calvin Quotes) When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it  (John Calvin Quotes) You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others  (John Calvin Quotes) Let this be our rule for goodwill and helpfulness, that whenever we are able to assist others we should behave as stewards who must someday give an account of ourselves  (John Calvin Quotes) When we recognize the rod of a father, should we not show ourselves docile children rather than rebelliously desperate men who have been hardened in their evil doings?  (John Calvin Quotes) Scripture points out this difference between believers and unbelievers; the latter, as old slaves of their incurable perversity, cannot endure the rod; but the former, like children of noble birth, profit by repentance and correction  (John Calvin Quotes) Even if this earth is only a vestibule, we ought undoubtedly to make such a use of its blessing that we are assisted rather than delayed in our journey  (John Calvin Quotes) There is also an old proverb, that they who pay much attention to the body generally neglect the soul  (John Calvin Quotes) The vices of which we are full we carefully hide from others, and we flatter ourselves with the notion that they are small and trivial; we sometimes even embrace them as virtues  (John Calvin Quotes) There is no golden mean between these two extremes; either this early life must become low in our estimation, or it will have our inordinate love  (John Calvin Quotes) There are people who are known to be very liberal, yet they never give without scolding or pride or even insolence  (John Calvin Quotes) Can true repentance exist without faith? By no means. But although they cannot be separated, they ought to be distinguished  (John Calvin Quotes)
