I'm in the process of painting my front porch both inside and out and am aiming towards a bit of an Irish theme and I like "wordy bits". Of course it will sound rather "hoakey" to some of you but you will just have to come over for a visit one day to check it out!! haha
I am requesting that you all give me your favourite quotes/proverbs/phrases of wisdom that are Irish in theme or origin and with the translation and pronunciation. And the author as well where applicable.
Please and thankyou.
Sláinte!! _________________ Phelan
