John Calvin

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

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.

There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
