We are accordingly urged by our own evil things to consider the good things of God; and, indeed, we cannot aspire to Him in earnest until we have begun to be displeased with ourselves.

- John Calvin

"To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we
have power of ourselves to do,
is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect."

When a certain shameless fellow mockingly asked a pious old man what God had done before the creation of the world, the latter aptly countered that he had been building hell for the curious.

John Calvin
Institutes; I.XIV.1

That pious old man was Augustine, bishop of Hippo, and one of the ablest defenders of unmerited Grace.

"There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can comprehend and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go on our way with the thought, "Behold I am wise." But when we come to this master science, finding that our plumb-line cannot sound its depth, amid that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away with the thought 'I am but of yesterday and know nothing.'"—C.H. Spurgeon
