Quotes

  • Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them.
  • Oh Paddy dear, and did you hear The news that's going round? The shamrock is forbid by law To grow on Irish ground.
  • When the law can stop the blades of grass From growing as they grow, And when the leaves in summer time Their verdure dare not show, Then I will change the colour I wear in my caubeen, But till that day I'll stick for aye To wearing of the green.
