I know of Calvinist's who have greatly lowered their respect for John Calvin because of some of these quotes.

As regards external arrangement and political decorum, the man follows Christ and the woman the man, so that they are not upon the same footing, but, on the contrary, this inequality exists.
Commentary on Corinthians - Volume 1
by
John Calvin, 1509-1564
This seventh commandment requires that we abstain from immodest apparel, indelicate speech, intemperance in food and drink which excites the passions, and everything that has any tendency to induce unchastely in ourselves or others. Let young people especially fix it in mind that all unclean conduct before marriage on the part of man or woman is a wrong done against the marriage to be.
Arthur W. Pink "The Ten Commandments"
There is not enough preaching by ministers and missionaries. They sit down interpreting, establishing schools, and doing this, that, and the other. We have nothing to find fault with in this; but that it was not the labor to which they should devote themselves: Their office is preaching, and , if they preached more, they might hope for more success.
We now -a-days, go and settle in a place, make a station of it, and work around it little by little, and think that is the way to succeed. No! No! Ravage a continent! But they say if you just pass over a place, it will be forgotten like the summer shower, which moistens all, but satisfies none. Yes, but you do not know how many of God's elect may be there; You have no business to stop in one place; go straight on; God's elect are everywhere.

But I suffer not a woman to teach. Not that he takes from them the charge of instructing their family, but only excludes them from the office of teaching, which God has committed to men only. If any one bring forward, by way of objection, Deborah and others of the same class, of whom we read that they were at one time appointed by the commend of God to govern the people, the answer is easy. Extraordinary acts done by God do not overturn the ordinary rules of government, by which he intended that we should be bound. Accordingly, if women at one time held the office of prophets and teachers, and that too when they were supernaturally called to it by the Spirit of God, He who is above all law might do this; but, being a peculiar case, this is not opposed to the constant and ordinary system of government.

"I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know."
Calvin & Hobbs
13. For Adam was first created. He assigns two reasons why women ought to be subject to men; because not only did God enact this law at the beginning, but he also inflicted it as a punishment on the woman. He accordingly shews that, although mankind had stood in their first and original uprightness, the true order of nature, which proceeded from the command of God, bears that women shall be subject. Now Moses shews that the woman was created afterwards, in order that she might be a kind of appendage to the man; and that she was joined to the man on the express condition, that she should be at hand to render obedience to him. Since, therefore, God did not create two chiefs of equal power, but added to the man an inferior aid, the Apostle justly reminds us of that order of creation in which the eternal and inviolable appointment of God is strikingly displayed.
Commentary on I Timothy
by
John Calvin, 1509-1564
The Christian life is not self-improving. To get a holiness of our own, and then have Christ reward us for it, is not His teaching. Christ Himself is our holiness; He will bring His own holiness, and come and dwell in our hearts forever.
A. B. Simpson
The Christ Life

I can do nothing. God must and will do all. In worship, in work, in sanctification, in obedience to God, I can do nothing of myself, and so my place is to worship God, and to believe that He will work in me every moment. You plead with people and you argue, and they get the idea: There is a man arguing and striving with me. But if you will let the deep rest of God come over you--the rest in Christ Jesus, the peace and the rest and holiness of heaven --that restfulness will bring a blessing to the heart, even more than the words you speak.
