Calvin on Self-Admiration and Pride

As I was reading through Calvin’s Institutes I came across the following two quotes in connection with the effects of the Fall on human nature.

There is, indeed, nothing that man’s nature seeks more eagerly than to be flattered (Book II, Chapter I, Part II).

Nothing pleases man more than the sort of alluring talk that tickles the pride that itches in his very marrow (Book II, Chapter I, Part II).
