John Calvin — "The heart of man is a perpetual idol factory."

"The will of God is the supreme rule of righteousness."

"The reprobate are blinded that they may not see, and hardened that they may not feel."

"It is not enough to believe that God is, unless we also believe that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

"For we must not think that it is an arbitrary will in God that is the cause of election, but that he wills justly and without fault."

"By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he has determined with himself whatever he wills to happen with regard to every man."
