In honor of St. Patty's Day on Friday, here are some Irish sayings I found:

I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.

A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.

A hair on the head is worth two in the brush.

Poverty waits at the gates of idleness.

If you want praise, die. If you want blame, marry.

Who gossips with you will gossip of you.

Lie down with dogs and you'll rise with fleas.

Melodious is the closed mouth.

Who keeps his tongue keeps his friends.

There's nothing so bad that it couldn't be worse.

Life is a strange lad.

If God sends you down a stony path, may he give you strong shoes.

And the best one:

May those who love us love us. And those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.
