“We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.”

“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.

“We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.”
― John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2 Vols
