“Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I am Patrick, yes a sinner and indeed untaught; yet I am established here in Ireland where I profess myself bishop. I am certain in my heart that "all that I am," I have received from God. So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God.”
Saint Patrick
“Better untaught than ill taught”
Proverb
“The intimate, even incestuous Circle in the Square where the audience was close enough to be patrons of the saloon.”
John Bryson
“I find Paula patronizing. It's as simple as that. Paula is more damaging than I am to these contestants because a lot of people just shouldn't be singing for a living.”
Simon Cowell
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
John Updike
“She was a patron saint of the peripheral.”
