“Well, the Irish aren't much into showing affection. There was crisis when we were wiped out in the Depression and my father went into the gloom. But surely in the years when I was an adolescent during the war years, there was, I would say, a rebirth of affection there.”
Andrew Greeley
“May you always walk in sunshine. May you never want for more. May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.”
Irish Blessings
“May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten”
“May the friendships you make be those which endure and all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure. And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray, may a song fill your heart every step of the way.”
“We tend to think of St. Patrick's Day as one big Irish party. However, St. Patrick's Day means something special to Irish people around the world. There is much that pulls the world apart today, but St. Patrick's Day is a time to start all over again and celebrate the positive things we all share in life!”
Dr. Sam Speron
“Here's to a long life, and a merry one; a quick death, and an easy one; a pretty girl, and an honest one; a cold beer - and another one!”
Old Irish toast
“Today is St. Patrick's Day. We celebrate our faith and heritage, everything else is secondary.”
John Dunleavy
