In honor of today, here are some quotes of Pat himself:
Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.
I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many.
If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.
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.
That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.
The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.
I am imperfect in many things, nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature so that they may be able to perceive my soul's desire.”
Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.
