"There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence." ― John Calvin Topic(s): Intelligence More From John Calvin "There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God." "A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." "God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us – as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray."

Fields movies, and his sense of humor fell somewhere in between."― Tony Visconti "I believe Business Objects is on the cusp of becoming a multi-billion-dollar sales company. There is tremendous growth potential for business intelligence."― Bernard Liautaud "My parents are artists; in their world, in the world of modern artists, you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out, and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren’t deeply truly artistic if that wasn’t the way you were engaging the press."― Lena Dunham
