If I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.

I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.

I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many.

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.
