Irish Proverbs

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord, and it makes you miss him.

Your feet will bring you where your heart is.

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass and not fall off the face of the earth.

God is good, but never dance in a small boat.

It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead the rest of your life.

May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, but never catch up.

Here's to all of the women who have used me and abused me... and may they continue to do so!
