"Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves." – John Calvin

“If I know not the distinction between our working and the power of God, I know not God Himself. Hence, I cannot worship Him, praise Him, or serve Him; for I shall never know how much I ought to ascribe unto myself and unto God ... No, the mercy of God alone does all things, and our own will does nothing; it is not active, but rather acted upon. And so it must be; otherwise the whole is not ascribe unto God.” – Martin Luther

“Even his will is already submitted to his own sin. So he cannot change freely to understand the truth, but to confirm his untruth with his bondaged will.” –Emmanuel Kant
