Irish Quotes:
“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
George Bernard Shaw
A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn
The Unicorn Song by, Shel Silverstein
"Ireland, thou friend of my country in my country's most friendless days, much injured, much enduring land, accept this poor tribute from one who esteems thy worth, and mourns thy desolation."
