I just don't feel respected in the political process as a large donor or as a citizen voter. I just feel patronized. Everything I get is like, 'Hey, you couldn't possibly - it's too complex and sophisticated what really goes on,' and, 'Hey, leave it to us, and we will go and represent you and fight the good fight, and just give us money.

American Businessman

Magnus Scheving

The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective.

Icelander Writer

Salman Khan

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.

Indian Actor

Billy Connolly

Once you become successful, people know where you live, the type of house you live in, the kind of car you drive, the clothes you wear, and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go back, your life changes every day.

Scottish Comedian

Joshua Oppenheimer

In documentary filmmaking, there's a tradition of telling stories about victims. We often do that from a very patronizing place, but mostly we do it from a very selfish place, to reassure ourselves that our lives are in sympathy and solidarity with the victims.

British Director

Jed Mercurio

It's important that the actor doesn't feel like they're working in a vacuum. If the actor is told, 'Oh, it's a secret; just play it this way or that way,' it's a bit patronising. I think you have to bring the actor into your thinking and explain things.

British Writer

Sallie Patrick

There are certainly young people who are very aware of what's going on in this country, and we want to treat that with respect. We don't want to patronize our audience by just talking about the frivolousness. It's a balance.

American Producer

Mohamed ElBaradei

Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult.

Egyptian Scientist

Marianne Williamson

We tend to lack humility toward love, to patronize it rather than bow before it, to put mundane considerations before the emotional need to hold someone in our arms.

American Author

Wendy O. Williams

I'm trying to encourage more women to be themselves, rather than what men want them to be. I don't believe in patronizing either sex.

American Musician

Used when someone supports businesses by buying or using their services frequently.

Loyalty Implication

Frequency Hint

It's used when someone acts superior while feigning kindness or helpfulness.

Disguised Superiority

Might feel like a subtle insult or put-down, even if not intended.

Subtle Insult

Often includes over-explaining things to someone who may already understand.

Nuanced Condescension
