When St. Patrick's Day comes around people usually think
about corned beef, clovers and beer, but these St.
Patrick's Day quotes go to show you that the holiday is
about much more than that. If you want to get in on the St.
Patrick's Day celebration, here are some fun and festive
quotes to get you started...
1. "St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin
transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic." ~
Adrienne Cook
2. "Anyone acquainted with Ireland knows that the morning
of St. Patrick's Day consists of the night of the 17th of
March flavored strongly with the morning of the 18th." ~
Author Unknown
3. "St. Patrick... one of the few saints whose feast day
presents the opportunity to get determinedly whacked and
make a fool of oneself all under the guise of acting
Irish." ~ Charles M. Madigan
4. "St. Patrick's Day is a religious holiday in Ireland.
The first thing you do is go to church." ~ Dermott Reid
5. "Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. We want people
to enjoy themselves and learn something about the great
culture and traditions of Ireland." ~ John Keane
6. "Today is St. Patrick's Day. We celebrate our faith and
heritage, everything else is secondary." ~ John Dunleavy
7. "Roughly 1 in 6 Americans have Irish blood. I'd say it's
probably safe to assume that the average Irish-American who
only comes out on St. Patrick's Day has no idea of the sort
of economic powerhouse Ireland has become." ~ Scott
McClellan
8. "We tend to think of St. Patrick's Day as one big Irish
party. However, St. Patrick's Day means something special
to Irish people around the world. There is much that pulls
the world apart today, but St. Patrick's Day is a time to
start all over again and celebrate the positive things we
all share in life!" ~ Dr. Sam Speron
9. "Nobody gets upset with the Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
~ Gabriela Lemus
10. "The list of Irish saints is past counting; but in it
all no other figure is so human, friendly, and lovable as
St. Patrick - who was an Irishman only by adoption." ~
Stephen Gwynn
And while not technically a quote, there's no St. Patrick's
Day celebration without an Irish toast:
Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an
easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold drink -
and another one!
