More quotes by John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.
John Calvin
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
No one can travel so far that he does not make some progess each day. So let us never give up. Then we shall move forward daily in the Lord's way. And let us never despair because of our limited success. Even though it is so much less than we would like, our labour is not wasted when today is better than yesterday!
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace evil, when grace is absent.
John Calvin
When we know God to be our Father, should we not desire that he be known as such by all? And if we do not have this passion, that all creatures do him homage, is it not a sign that his glory means little to us?
John Calvin
Unless we fix certain hours in the day for prayer, it easily slips from our memory.
John Calvin
Integrity is the best of all protectors...we cannot be more secure than when fortified by a good conscience.
John Calvin
Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.
John Calvin
All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.
John Calvin
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
