True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

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

For, to my mind, this is a certain principle, that nothing is here treated of but the visible form of the world. He who would learn astronomy, and other recondite arts, let him go elsewhere.
(on commenting the text of Genesis 1:6)

I can't tell if that's funny or really scary.

Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?

Maybe then I can finish my book.
