Zitat des Tages von Saint Patrick:

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

On occasion, I used to give presents to the kings, besides the hire that I gave to to their sons who accompany me; and nevertheless, they seized me with my companions.
