Quotations for aids

Dare to act! Even Venus aids the bold. [ Tibullus ]

The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame.
Die fast away; only themselves die faster.
The far-famed sculptor, and the laurelled bard,
Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,
Supply their little feeble aids in vain. [ Blair ]

There is no man easier to deceive than he who hopes; for he aids in his own deceit. [ Bossuet ]

He is a friend who, in dubious circumstances, aids in deeds when deeds are necessary. [ Plautus ]

Patron or Customer? These nouns are generally used indiscriminately. A patron is a virtual benefactor; one who countenances, aids, or supports. A customer is a purchaser, or buyer, who expects in return for his money full value received. Hence it is erroneous for a merchant to say, He is a patron of mine, when he means simply a customer. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
