    “O Paddy dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
    The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!

    For there’s a cruel law agin the wearin’ o’ the Green!”

    —Arthur Sheekman, screenwriter, and Norman McLeod. Monkey Business (film)

    “God pity them both! and pity us all,
    Who vainly the dreams of youth recall.

    For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
    The saddest are these: “It might have been!””
