Quotations for countenances

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 ]
