| From "My Wild Irish Mother" by Mary Higgins Clar
All her life she was to personify the best of her Irish heritage - a warm and generous heart, undauntable faith in her God, unswerving allegiance to the Democratic Party, heroic resiliency in trouble and always, always, an unquenchable sense of humor. |
| Sean O'Casey
Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living. |
| Written by Aldfred, king of the Northumbrian Saxon
The Irish Church of St. Patrick I found in each great church moreo'er, Whether on island or on shore, Piety, learning, fond affection; Holy welcome and kind protection. I found the good lay monks and brothers Ever beseeching help for others, And in their keeping the holy word Pure as it came from Jesus the Lord. Notes: who was educated in an Irish monastery. These lines were in reference to the Irish Church founded by St. Patrick. |
| Ronald Reagan
Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. |
| From Cadenus and Vanessa by Jonathan Swift
It is an old maxim in the schools, That flattery's the food of fools; Yet now and then your men of wit Will condescend to take a bit. |
