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.

It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"! (Institutio III.2.3)

The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.

It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.

For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.

Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.

It is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.
