John Calvin
Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
John Calvin
The denial of ourselves which Christ has so diligently commanded his disciples from the beginning will at last dominate all the desires of our heart.
John Calvin
The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life.
John Calvin
Unless we ardently and prayerfully devote ourselves to Christ's righteousness we do not only faithlessly revolt from our Creator, but we also abjure him as our Savior.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
John Calvin
My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.
John Calvin
The highest honor in the church is not government but service.
John Calvin
