“The Irish are never at peace but when they're fighting.”

“An Irish wedding is a tame thing to an Irish funeral.”

“You may have noticed there are three things an Irishman always puts his soul in: his religion, his sports, and his politics. If you ever find an Irishman who is wishy-washy on any one of those, you can make up your mind to it he is not the true article at all.”
