St. Patrick's Day Quotes
Here are great St. Patrick's day quotes that help sum up this simultaneously rowdy and revered holiday
Here's to a long life and a merry one.

A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one!

For he's a saint so clever;

And bothered them forever!

Drove all the snakes from Ireland, here's a drink to his health!

Forget the good Saint Patrick, and see them snakes again!

There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
'Twas St Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland;
And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland...
~Andrew Cherry

Liveried angels robed in green,
Wearing, by St Patrick.s bounty,
Emeralds big as half the county.

Oh! St. Patrick was a gentleman
Who came of decent people;
He built a church in Dublin town,
And on it put a steeple.

When after the Winter alarmin',
The Spring steps in so charmin',
So fresh and arch
In the middle of March,
Wid her hand St. Patrick's arm on...

Saint Patrick was a gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland
Here's a drinkee to his health!
But not too many drinkees
Lest we lose ourselves and then...
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see them snakes again!

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
