I know for certain, that before I was humbled I was like a stone lying in deep mire, and he that is mighty came and in his mercy raised me up and, indeed, lifted me high up and placed me on top of the wall. And from there I ought to shout out in gratitude to the Lord for his great favours in this world and for ever, that the mind of man cannot measure. ~ St. Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St. Patrick
St. Patrick's Day is a holy day for Roman Catholics in Ireland to pray and a day for drunk people to vomit with their pants down in New Jersey. ~ Margot Leitman
St Patrick quotes by Margot Leitman
St. Patrick's Day is the fourth biggest drinking day in America. It's not the biggest. It's right behind New Year's Eve, Fourth of July, or any Secret Service party. ~ David Letterman
St Patrick quotes by David Letterman
St. Patrick's Day is a day to celebrate our green heritage. The ancestry of Ireland. It is a day to celebrate what it means to be Irish and of Irish descent. ~ Anthony T. Hincks
St Patrick quotes by Anthony T. Hincks
You don't believe in leprechauns.
A myth you say they be.
You don't believe in pots-o-gold,
or four-leaf-clover tea.

You don't believe the rainbow's end
alights on treasured finds.
They are illusions meant for fools
you say 'ave lost their minds.

You don't believe in whispering
your wishes to the wind,
where on St. Patrick's holiday
they blow t'wards Ireland.

You don't believe in magic spells
or longings coming true.
Yet, head-to-toe you dress in green
on Patty's Day, you do. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
It's simply this:
the Irish kiss,
a snog o' bliss,
be blessed luck
from any miss. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me. ~ St Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St Patrick
A wish for a kiss
on St. Patrick's Day!
Catch a leprechaun
but don't let him run.
Nay, kiss him right away! ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. ~ St Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St Patrick
On St. Patrick's Day, the traditional Irish family would rise early and find a solitary sprig of shamrock to put on their somber Sunday best. Then they'd spend the morning in church listening to sermons about how thankful they should be that St. Patrick saved such a bunch of ungrateful sinners. Nobody wore green clothing as it was considered an unlucky color not suitable for church. ~ Rashers Tierney
St Patrick quotes by Rashers Tierney
On this day, millions of people ... throughout the world will gather to commemorate the life of Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. From his days as a slave in Ireland to his work as missionary years later, St. Patrick demonstrated a courage, commitment, and faith that won the hearts and minds of the Irish people. St. Patrick's Day also serves as a time for people of Irish descent from all traditions and religions to honor their native land and shared heritage. Their devotion to family, faith, and community has strengthened our country's character. ~ George W. Bush
St Patrick quotes by George W. Bush
Imagine if we were all magical leprechauns, and every wish ever made on a four-leaf clover obliged us to help others obtain their wishes. Now imagine if people simply lived like this were true. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
God, my God, omnipotent King, I humbly adore thee. Thou art King of kings, Lord of lords. Thou art the Judge of every age. Thou art the Redeemer of souls. Thou art the Liberator of those who believe. Thou art the Hope of those who toil. Thou art the Comforter of those in sorrow. Thou art the Way to those who wander. Thou art Master to the nations. Thou art the Creator of all creatures. Thou art the Lover of all good. Thou art the Prince of all virtues. Thou art the joy of all Thy saints. Thou art life perpetual. Thou art joy in truth. Thou art the exultation in the eternal fatherland. Thou art the Light of light. Thou art the Fountain of holiness. Thou art the glory of God the Father in the height. Thou art Savior of the world. Thou art the plenitude of the Holy Spirit. Thou sittest at the right hand of God the Father on the throne, reigning for ever. ~ St Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St Patrick
I went to a Catholic University and there's something about being a Catholic-American. You know, St. Patrick's Day is, I'm Irish-Catholic. There's alcoholism in my family. It's like I've got to be Catholic, right? ~ Jim Gaffigan
St Patrick quotes by Jim Gaffigan
I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's day. I'm lucky sevens. ~ Billy Corgan
St Patrick quotes by Billy Corgan
When you make a wee wish
on a green four-leafed clover,
may your belly stay full
and your cup runneth over. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Roughly 1 in 6 Americans have Irish blood. I'd say it's probably safe to assume that the average Irish-American who only comes out on St. Patrick's Day has no idea of the sort of economic powerhouse Ireland has become. ~ Scott McClellan
St Patrick quotes by Scott McClellan
So, how old were you when you discovered St. Patrick?" I teased.
"Twelve! He was bloody twelve!" Tiffa bellowed from the backseat, making everyone laugh. "When Darcy was born, he was wearing a tiny little bow tie and braces."
"Braces?" I giggled.
"Suspenders," Wilson supplied dryly.
"He has always been an absolute geek," Tiffa chortled. "That, my dear Blue, is why he's brilliant. And wonderful."
"Don't try to be nice to me now, Tiff," Wilson smiled, catching her gaze in his rear view mirror.
"All right. I won't. Did you know he was going to be a doctor, Blue?"
"Tiffa!" Wilson moaned. ~ Amy Harmon
St Patrick quotes by Amy Harmon
I do identify with St. Patrick, not just in name. He drove the snakes out of Ireland. I intend to drive the snakes out of the State House. ~ Deval Patrick
St Patrick quotes by Deval Patrick
It is St. Patrick's Day. And here in Scranton, that is a huge deal. It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas. ~ Michael Scott
St Patrick quotes by Michael Scott
For that sun, which we see rising every day, rises at His command… - Greg Tobin, The Wisdom of St. Patrick from St. Patrick's Confession ~ St. Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St. Patrick
This is what we call a shamrock. It has three leaves. Do you know what it represents?"
"Luck? Amelia answered.
Lee smiled. "That's what everyone says."
Rick shrugged. "Well, I know it's Ireland's emblem."
Lee shook his head and said earnestly, "It's much more than that. It represents our religion ... who we are. When St. Patrick was trying to teach Christianity here in Ireland, he used this shamrock as an example." Lee pointed to each leaf and said, "This is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ... "
Rick still held the clover in his hand. He looked at it and twirled it between his fingers as he said, "I'm calling this the Shamrock Case from now on. I love what it represents. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
St Patrick quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
IRELAND
Spenserian Sonnet
abab, bcbc, cdcd, ee

What is it about the Kelly velvet hillsides and the hoary avocado sea,
The vertical cliffs where the Gulf Stream commences its southern bend,
Slashing like a sculptor gone mad or a rancorous God who's angry,
Heaving galaxies of lichen shrouded stones for potato farmers to tend,
Where the Famine and the Troubles such haunting aspects lend,
Music and verse ring with such eloquence in their whimsical way,
Let all, who can hear, rejoice as singers' intonations mend,
Gaelic souls from Sligo and Trinity Green to Cork and Dingle Bay,
Where fiddle, bodhran, tin whistle, and even God, indulge to play,
Ould sod to Beckett, Wilde and Yeats, Heaney and James Joyce,
In this verdant, welcoming land, 'tis the poet who rules the day.
Where else can one hear a republic croon in so magnificent a voice?
Primal hearts of Celtic chieftains pulse, setting inspiration free,
In genial confines of chic caprice, we're stirred by synchronicity. ~ David B. Lentz
St Patrick quotes by David B. Lentz
St.Patrick's Day is named for St. Patrick, the first guy to feed Guinness to a snake. ~ Conan O'Brien
St Patrick quotes by Conan O'Brien
The shamrock is a religious symbol. St. Patrick said the leaves represented the trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's why four leaf clovers are so lucky, you get a bonus Jesus. ~ Stephen Colbert
St Patrick quotes by Stephen Colbert
I shall ne'er chase rainbows again,
Knowing no pot o' gold awaits at the end.
My Irish treasure is not there.
For ye, my love, abide with me here. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
St Patrick quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
I arise today through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me afar and anear, alone or in a multitude. ~ St Patrick
St Patrick quotes by St Patrick
It seems people spend the majority of their lives believing they're dying, with the only consolation being that at one point they get to be right. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
St Patrick quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
Mrs. Porter was fat, and her breath smelled like burnt newspapers. ~ Patrick Suskind
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Suskind
Ain't it shame how folk see time like money in the bank when it's more like a loan that might jus' fall due any second? ~ Patrick Neate
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Neate
I found that dance was key to keeping depression out of my life. When you dance, things just go away, things don't seem so bad. There's no better way to take care of health than through something as joyous and beautiful as dance. ~ Patrick Swayze
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Swayze
I lost about 60 pounds. I don't really have a moment specifically that made me do it. I remember little things, like, when I was in Japan, I remember looking around at the portion sizes of a fast food restaurant and being like, 'Well, this has something to do with it.' Americans definitely eat too much. ~ Patrick Stump
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Stump
St. Soren, Bastard Patron Saint of Manipulation ~ Tiffany Reisz
St Patrick quotes by Tiffany Reisz
The archbishop of St. Andrews threatened that if Knox preached, he would be shot on sight. Knox preached anyway, from Perth to Fife and beyond. As a result, the summer of 1559 saw an extraordinary revival spread throughout Scotland.59 ~ Douglas Bond
St Patrick quotes by Douglas Bond
You don't get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don't want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won't be the best workout you have, you won't accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn't matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important. ~ Georges St-Pierre
St Patrick quotes by Georges St-Pierre
This is how we are protecting you, by getting you out. ~ Patrick Ness
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Ness
Make two homes for thyself, my daughter. One actual home ... and the other a spiritual home which thou are to carry with thee always. ~ St. Catherine Of Siena
St Patrick quotes by St. Catherine Of Siena
Is our life not exciting enough? Or do the lot of you just have some kind of death wish? ~ Julie Kagawa
St Patrick quotes by Julie Kagawa
Moving heavy objects allowed me to feel manly in the eyes of other men. With the women it didn't matter, but I enjoyed subtly intimidating the guys with bad backs who thought they were helping out by telling us how to pack the truck. The thinking was that because we were furniture movers, we obviously weren't too bright. In addition to being strong and stupid, we were also thought of as dangerous. It might have been an old story to Patrick and the others, but I got a kick out of being mistaken as volatile. All I had to do was throw down my dolly with a little extra force, and a bossy customer would say, Let's just all calm down and try to work this out. ~ David Sedaris
St Patrick quotes by David Sedaris
I am Patrick, yes a sinner and indeed untaught; yet I am established here in Ireland where I profess myself bishop. I am certain in my heart that 'all that I am,' I have received from God. So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God. ~ Saint Patrick
St Patrick quotes by Saint Patrick
Great, Yoda wrote the directions. ~ Roxanne St. Claire
St Patrick quotes by Roxanne St. Claire
Reading aloud sounds like a good idea, but honestly, it doesn't work very well. Good dialogue in a book doesn't actually bear much resemblance to real-life dialogue. For example, if you've ever seen a word-for-word transcript of people talking, it doesn't read off the page very well. The trick is to make it *seem* like it's being spoken, not to make it speakable. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Take care,' said Delaura. 'Sometimes we attribute certain things we do not understand to the demon, not thinking they may be things of God that we do not understand.'
'Saint Thomas said it, and I will be guided by him,' said the Abbess: 'One must not believe demons even when they speak the truth. ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
St Patrick quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The choice is not between the current crisis and blissful isolation. The choice is between the current crisis and an orderly, managed system of mass migration. You can have one or the other. There is no easy middle ground ~ Patrick Kingsley
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Kingsley
There are only 2 type of people in this world
1 st those respect self, respect others, live with dignity and honest
2 nd those sell their soul.and cheat all everyone from human to God ~ Mohammed Zaki Ansari
St Patrick quotes by Mohammed Zaki Ansari
But, somehow, Wilf knows. Somehow, Wilf always knows. ~ Patrick Ness
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Ness
I won't be sad too often, If they bury me in the library With bookworms in my coffin. ~ J. Patrick Lewis
St Patrick quotes by J. Patrick Lewis
Venissa is a perfect destination for day-trippers from Venice proper who are searching for great food and a little adventure; it's a 30-minute jaunt by vaporetto from St. Mark's, quicker by water taxi. ~ Roger Morris
St Patrick quotes by Roger Morris
Words cannot always do the work we need them to. Music is there for when words fail us. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
When all you are is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail. ~ Patrick Weekes
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Weekes
No one wants to read an apologetic book. ~ Patrick Ness
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Ness
In October 1805, Stoddard's tour left St. Louis, including forty-five Indians from eleven tribes. They arrived in Washington in January 1806. Jefferson gave them the standard Great Father talk: "We are become as numerous as the leaves of the trees, and, tho' we do not boast, we do not fear any nation. . . . My children, we are strong, we are numerous as the stars in the heavens, & we are all gun-men." He followed the threat with the carrot: if they would be at peace with one another and trade with the Americans, they could be happy. (In reply, one of the chiefs said he was glad the Americans were as numerous as the stars in the skies, and powerful as well. So much the better, in fact, for that meant the government should be strong enough to keep white squatters off Indian lands.) ~ Stephen E. Ambrose
St Patrick quotes by Stephen E. Ambrose
To be both rich and handsome was bad enough. But to have a voice like honey over warm bread on top of that was simply inexcusable. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Well, after that she would do her best. That was the only way. You did not want things for yourself. That made you small. That kept you safe. That meant you could move smoothly through the world without upsetting every applecart you came across. And if you were careful, if you were a proper part of things, then you could help. You mended what was cracked. You tended to the things you found askew. And you trusted that the world in turn would brush you up against the chance to eat. It was the only graceful way to move. All else was vanity and pride. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Sometimes I think you're the only thing keeping me sane. ~ Julie Kagawa
St Patrick quotes by Julie Kagawa
It is easier to understand if you think of it in terms of music. Sometimes a man enjoys a symphony. Elsetimes he finds a jig more suited to his taste.
The same holds true for lovemaking. One type is suited to the deep cushions of a twilight forest glade. Another comes quite naturally tangled in the sheets of narrow beds upstairs in inns. Each woman is like an instrument, waiting to be learned, loved, and finely played, to have at last her own true music made.
Some might take offense at this way of seeing things, not understanding how a trouper views his music. They might think I degrade women. They might consider me callous, or boorish, or crude.
But those people do not understand love, or music, or me. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Our dad was a great guy and we will never forget him. ~ Lara St. John
St Patrick quotes by Lara St. John
We are at the point in time and terror where nothing short of a strong uniform policy of domestic disarmament will alleviate the danger which is crystal clear and perilously present. Let us take the guns away from the people. ~ Patrick V. Murphy
St Patrick quotes by Patrick V. Murphy
Give him numbers, he's great. Give him words and sentences to put together and his forehead creases down so you can see exactly what he'll look like when he's eighty. ~ Patrick Ness
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Ness
Just as truly as the Confessions are the autobiography of St. Augustine, The City of God is the autobiography of the Church written by the most Catholic of her great saints. ~ Augustine Of Hippo
St Patrick quotes by Augustine Of Hippo
The newly-minted captain is told to let nothing stop him but to do nothing that would risk his ship or his crew. ~ Patrick O'Brian
St Patrick quotes by Patrick O'Brian
My alar is like the ocean in storm. (Devi) ~ Patrick Rothfuss
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
A puma is not a bird," said Tobias, after a hundred paces. "It is a kind of cat - felis concolor. You may see it soon: it is moving along with us, on the right."
The word cat brought nothing into Jack's mind but a fleeting image of a shabby, brownish-black little creature called Tib that disgraced the drawing-room at home, and he plodded on in silence. Every hundred yards or so they changed shoulders, and during the third change there was a coughing noise to their right, a series of coughs, huge, deep, throaty coughs, that culminated in a shattering roar, unimaginably loud.
"Not a bird, Jack, you see," said Tobias.
"How big?" cried Jack, vividly alive now, with terror coursing up and down his spine.
"The size of an indifferent lion," said Tobias. "You can see him if you bend and look under the yellow bush. He is tearing up the earth, and biting it."
"Can he climb?"
"Oh, admirably."
"Toby, what shall we do?"
"Why, unless you wish to go and look at him, we had better go on. It is getting late. But do not hurry so, Jack, nor make jerking movements. If he should come out, take no notice of him, or look at him kindly - do not provoke him. He is not a froward puma, I believe. ~ Patrick O'Brian
St Patrick quotes by Patrick O'Brian
Wherever St. Paul went, there was a riot. Wherever I go, they serve tea. ~ N. T. Wright
St Patrick quotes by N. T. Wright
To live is to fight, to preserve life is to fight everything that man stands for. ~ Patrick Ness
St Patrick quotes by Patrick Ness
Pick a goal, make a realistic plan to reach that goal, work through each step of the plan, and repeat. ~ Georges St-Pierre
St Patrick quotes by Georges St-Pierre
I've got whole years of unfortunate clothing in '80s. ~ Patrick Wilson
