We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.

John Calvin (French Theologian, 1509 – 1564)

Humility is the beginning of true intelligence.

John Calvin (French Theologian, 1509 – 1564)

For the fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being, and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man’s house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.

John Calvin (French Theologian, 1509 – 1564)

Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to receive.

John Calvin (French Theologian, 1509 – 1564)

When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers.

John Calvin (French Theologian, 1509 – 1564)

But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.

John Knox (Scottish Theologian, 1513 – 1572)

Let a thing here be noted, that the prophet of God sometimes may teach treason against kings, and yet neither he nor such as obey the word, spoken in the Lord’s name by him, offend God.

John Knox (Scottish Theologian, 1513 – 1572)

I sought neither preeminence, glory, nor riches; my honor was that Jesus Christ should reign.

John Knox (Scottish Theologian, 1513 – 1572)

I will keep the ground that God has given me and perhaps in his grace, he will ignite me again. But ignite me or not, in his grace, in his power, I will hold the ground.

John Knox (Scottish Theologian, 1513 – 1572)

A man with God is always in the majority.

John Knox (Scottish Theologian, 1513 – 1572)
