Irish Men

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or men:

    The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.

    I would remind my countrymen that they are to be men first, and Americans only at a late and convenient hour.
