Quotable Quotes 

Irish Saying and Toasts
An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep from falling off the earth.

May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re gone. 

May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.

May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint !

May the saddest day of your future be no worse that the happiest day of your past.  

  Daylight savings - April 3rd  Spring ahead.
