"Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves." "When he enjoins them to be wise, he indirectly condemns their false confidence in their own wisdom as if he had said, the beginning of true wisdom is when a man lays aside his pride, and submits himself to the authority of Christ."

~John Calvin Institutes of the Christian Religion I.i.1 & Commentary on Psalm 2
