Worthy Patron

Famous quotes containing the words worthy and/or patron:

    Remember I have done thee worthy service,
    Told thee no lies, made no mistakings, served
    Without or grudge or grumblings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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 (b. 1932)
