An Irish Quote:

O Ireland isn't it grand you look--
Like a bride in her rich adornin?
And with all the pent-up love of my heart
I bid you the top o' the mornin!

         John Locke "The Exile's Return"


==============

And; did you know:

Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat


==============

Ah, but take heart, if you're having a spat with your mate the Irish say:

Better be quarrelling than lonesome.


==============

And an Irish Blessing for ye:

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
