Famous quotes containing the words irish, set and/or dancing:

    Hindered characters
    seldom have mothers
    in Irish stories, but they all have grandmothers.

    The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.
