John Calvin — "The elect are vessels of mercy, and the reprobate are vessels of wrath."

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

"We shall never be clearly persuaded, as we ought to be, that our salvation flows from the wellspring of God's free mercy until we come to know his eternal election, which illumines God's grace by this…"

"Therefore, the bondage of the will to sin remains and yet such slavery is a voluntary and willful captivity."

"The best way to overcome evil is to do good."

"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."
