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.
Saint PatrickHe [God] watched over me before I knew him, and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil, and he protected me, and consoled me as a father would his son.

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