Top Irish Green Quotes

Irish Green Quotes By Richard Mc Sweeney

{Source: A Green Desert Father} — Richard Mc Sweeney

Irish Green Quotes By Anne Enright

Ireland is a series of stories that have been told to us, starting with the Irish Celtic national revival. I never believed in 'Old Ireland.' It has been made all of kitsch by the diaspora, looking back and deciding what Ireland is. Yes, it is green. Yes, it is friendly. I can't think of anything else for definite. — Anne Enright

Irish Green Quotes By Joan Of Arc

Even though I saw the executioner and the fire, I could not say anything but what I have said. — Joan Of Arc

Irish Green Quotes By Neil Strauss

Almost everyone who reaches a plateau where he or she is happy and comfortable says it's because of finding balance between work, relaxation, exercise, socialising and family - plus some alone time to do something contemplative, creative, or educational. — Neil Strauss

Irish Green Quotes By Mary Elizabeth McGrath Blake

For 'tis green, green, green, where the ruined towers are gray, And it's green, green, green, all the happy night and day; Green of leaf and green of sod, green of ivy on the wall, And the blessed Irish shamrock with the fairest green of all. — Mary Elizabeth McGrath Blake

Irish Green Quotes By Richelle E. Goodrich

Wearing of the green
On March seventeen.
Shamrocks and Irish folk
Take o'er the scene! — Richelle E. Goodrich

Irish Green Quotes By Carolyn Weber

Yes ... I love how the Irish are so comfortable with paradox that they revel in it. In fact, if you took it away from them, I suspect they would start gasping like fish out of water. No wonder their land's name, now removed from its Gaelic notions of abundance in 'eire,' evokes anger, or 'ire,' and yet also the rich, cooling green of a sea-colored jewel. A 'terrible beauty' indeed. They understand oppression and repression and explosion, but they remain a culture of faith-faith that creaks and groans and pulls, but is alive and never dull. And which urges them to art, to poetry, to song-these, too, are forms of action. Of passion. Of conviction. Yes, of love. — Carolyn Weber

Irish Green Quotes By Richelle E. Goodrich

Be sure to wear green
on March seventeen,
or else Irish leprechauns
pinch your bones clean! — Richelle E. Goodrich

Irish Green Quotes By Ben Tolosa

Nobody can tell you your purpose; only God and you know. People can only help you to find it yourself. — Ben Tolosa

Irish Green Quotes By Nancy Mitford

A typical Irish dinner would be: cream flavored with lobster, cream with bits of veal in it, green peas and cream, cream cheese, cream flavored with strawberries. — Nancy Mitford

Irish Green Quotes By James Connolly

Whoop it up for liberty! After Ireland is free, says the patriot who won't touch socialism, we will protect all classes, and if you won't pay your rent you will be evicted same as now. But the evicting party, under command of the sheriff, will wear green uniforms and the Harp without the Crown, and the warrant turning you out on the roadside will be stamped with the arms of the Irish Republic. Now, isn't that worth fighting for? — James Connolly

Irish Green Quotes By Martha Beck

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go. — Martha Beck

Irish Green Quotes By JoAnne Kenrick

You'll win her with ya Irish charm and green eyes, so ya will. Now drink up ya coffee and stop whining like a baby. This girl's gonna have a fantastic night tomorrow. She's gonna worship da ground ya c**k drags on. — JoAnne Kenrick

Irish Green Quotes By Dan Buettner

Integrate at least three of these items into your daily diet to be sure you are eating plenty of whole food. 1. Beans - all kinds: black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, black-eyed peas, lentils 2. Greens - spinach, kale, chards, beet tops, fennel tops 3. Sweet potatoes - don't confuse with yams. 4. Nuts - all kinds: almonds, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, cashews 5. Olive oil - green, extra-virgin is usually the best.

Barley - either in soups, as a hot cereal, or — Dan Buettner

Irish Green Quotes By J.J. McAvoy

You have always thought of the family before anything else, even yourself. Now all you want is a woman? I don't care if she's black, purple, green, Irish or not. You should have what you want. — J.J. McAvoy

Irish Green Quotes By Stephen Colbert

There's an old saying about those who forget history. I don't remember it, but it's good. — Stephen Colbert

Irish Green Quotes By Margaret Mitchell

Scarlet O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin-that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns. — Margaret Mitchell

Irish Green Quotes By Birgitte Hjort Sorensen

In the U.K., journalists are a little bit more ruthless than in Denmark. I have a feeling the tabloid press in the U.K. is pretty harsh. — Birgitte Hjort Sorensen

Irish Green Quotes By Katherine Dunn

It takes a lady of a certain age to contain the stuff [whiskey]. Particularly the Irish. No offense but a bit of weathering and experience are required not to go right off the edge with it. I would heisitate to serve Irish to a green schoolgirl. Mixes and vodka are enough for them to go wrong on. I couldn't look at myself shaving if I poured Irish for the young. — Katherine Dunn

Irish Green Quotes By Andy Barrie

We'll explain the appeal of curling to you if you explain the appeal of the National Rifle Association to us. — Andy Barrie

Irish Green Quotes By Richelle E. Goodrich

Corned beef and cabbage and leprechaun men.
Colorful rainbows hide gold at their end.
Shamrocks and clovers with three leaves plus one.
Dress up in green - add a top hat for fun.
Steal a quick kiss from the lasses in red.
A tin whistle tune off the top of my head.
Friends, raise a goblet and offer this toast
'The luck of the Irish and health to our host!' — Richelle E. Goodrich

Irish Green Quotes By M.D. Robinson

More of a QUESTION: When I was in high school in the 1980's I read a book but cannot remember the name. It had a spooky green cover with a german shepherd like dog on it and I seem to remember it being about ghosts or something in the English countryside -although it could have been Irish or Wales or Scottish. Does anyone else remember this book and can you tell me the name? I would love to reread it since it set me on my path to my LOVE if reading. — M.D. Robinson

Irish Green Quotes By Wallace Stevens

These are the ashes of fiery weather,
Of nights full of the green stars from Ireland,
Wet out of the sea, and luminously wet,
Like beautiful and abandonded refugees. — Wallace Stevens

Irish Green Quotes By Charles Lever

The rain was dashing in torrents against the window-panes, and the wind sweeping in heavy and fitful gusts along the dreary and deserted streets, as a party of three persons sat over their wine, in that stately old pile which once formed the resort of the Irish Members, in College Green, Dublin, and went by the name of Daly's Clubhouse. — Charles Lever

Irish Green Quotes By Ludwig Von Mises

Despots and democratic majorities are drunk with power. — Ludwig Von Mises

Irish Green Quotes By James Connolly

Irish tory employers hid[e] their sweatshops behind orange flags, and Irish home rule landlords us[e] the green sunburst of Erin to cloak their rack-renting in the festering slums of our Irish towns. — James Connolly

Irish Green Quotes By Dylan Moran

As an Irish person, there's a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that's what we grow up with. — Dylan Moran

Irish Green Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

We must hold a man amenable to reason for the choice of his daily craft or profession. It is not an excuse any longer for his deeds that they are the custom of his trade. What business has he with an evil trade? — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Irish Green Quotes By Maggie Stiefvater

Then Gansey said, very slowly, "Ronan, you're never going to talk to Jane like that again."
Both Adam and Blue stared at Gansey, who concentrated his gaze on his napkin. It wasn't what he said but how he looked at no one when he said it that made the moment strange. — Maggie Stiefvater

Irish Green Quotes By Rashers Tierney

On St. Patrick's Day, the traditional Irish family would rise early and find a solitary sprig of shamrock to put on their somber Sunday best. Then they'd spend the morning in church listening to sermons about how thankful they should be that St. Patrick saved such a bunch of ungrateful sinners. Nobody wore green clothing as it was considered an unlucky color not suitable for church. — Rashers Tierney

Irish Green Quotes By Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Taking somebody's sacrifices is like taking counterfeit money. You're only the poorer. — Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Irish Green Quotes By Os Guinness

Negative freedom is freedom from - freedom from oppression, whether it's a colonial power or addiction to alcohol oppressing you. You need to be freed from negative freedom. Positive freedom is freedom for, freedom to be. And that's what's routinely ignored today. — Os Guinness

Irish Green Quotes By J.A. Huss

But it's better to have bad options than no options. And people won't save you either, ya know. — J.A. Huss

Irish Green Quotes By Jonas Armstrong

When I was 14, I almost had a big green leprechaun tattooed on my forearm. Thank God I didn't - it would have been a nightmare to cover up as an actor. I went with a group of mates and, being Irish, thought a leprechaun would be perfect. — Jonas Armstrong

Irish Green Quotes By Gail Carriger

It was like trying to have a conversation with a distracted and very soggy scone. Every time he pushed in one direction the earl either oozed or crumbled. — Gail Carriger

Irish Green Quotes By Agatha Christie

When I went to bed, I stared earnestly at my face in the glass. Was I really good-looking? Honestly I couldn't say I thought so! I hadn't got a straight Grecian nose, or a rosebud mouth, or any of the things you ought to have. It is true that a curate once told me that my eyes were like "imprisoned sunshine in a dark, dark wood" - but curates always know so many quotations, and fire them off at random. I'd much prefer to have Irish blue eyes than dark green ones with yellow flecks! Still, green is a good colour for adventuresses. — Agatha Christie
