„If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house, then in a field,... it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.“

— John Calvin

„The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.“

— John Calvin

„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“

— John Calvin

„The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.“

— John Calvin, Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life

„Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.“

— John Calvin

„There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.“

— John Calvin

„The pastor ought to have two voices: one, for gathering the sheep; and another, for warding off and driving away wolves and thieves. The Scripture supplies him with the means of doing both.“

— 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, Institutes of the Christian Religion

„men are undoubtedly more in danger from prosperity than from adversity. for when matters go smoothly, they flatter themselves, and are intoxicated by their success“

— John Calvin
