15 St Patricks Day Quotes to Celebrate the Irish Spirit
St Patrick’s Day is the day we celebrate all things Irish culture. We wear green to represent the emerald isle, drink Irish drinks, eat Irish food, and now, can motivate the Irish way. These St Patrick’s Day quotes will help you encapsulate the Irish spirit.
We could all use these St Patrick’s Day quotes to celebrate the Irish spirit, complete with an Irish blessing. March 17th is the day we celebrate the Irish. It’s called St Patrick’s Day, and it is one of those holidays with multiple meanings.
St Patrick’s Day is meant to be a religious holiday celebrated with a feast. You may be asking, who is St Patrick? Saint Patrick is the man credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.
However, not all of the Irish stayed in Ireland; many immigrated to the Americas, bringing their holidays with them. They also brought the symbols of their home country, like the four-leaf clover, a pot of gold, leprechauns, and the luck of the Irish.
However, the holiday didn’t translate well to a land filled with different cultures. This has led St Patrick’s Day to change a bit over the decades. Instead of celebrating a religion, we celebrate the Irish and all of their glory.
The Irish are the kinds of people who invite us all to be Irish today. A little luck and some Irish heritage can go a long way on this day. The history of Ireland is still a part of the holiday but in different ways.
Now, we look for gold at the end of the rainbow and drink a glass of green beer, but do we know where these things came from? For example, we wear green to represent the Irish hills that gave the island the nickname “Emerald Isle.”
Basically, we celebrate the Irish in the best ways possible, taking in Irish blessings of each day and sharing a good laugh with them and the whole world. We don’t have to be Irish to celebrate; we don’t even need ancestry of Ireland.
All we need are some good vibes, maybe a Colin Farrell movie or two, and some good St Patrick’s Day quotes.
15 St Patrick’s Day Quotes to Celebrate the Irish Spirit
“May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow. And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.”
Many of these quotes will be about good health, good fortune, and living a long life. You can pick any Irish proverb and will find that many of them lean towards a long life. Of course, they never leave out a bit of humor.
“The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.”
The luck of the Irish is not a new idea. However, it is not an Irish saying. Instead, it came from the gold rush, when the Irish were thought to have only found gold due to luck, not hard work.
Luckily, they took hold of that saying and twisted it to make all who are not Irish jealous.
“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.”
No amount of good luck can help us find the pot o gold at the end of your rainbows. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t wish for it in these St Patrick’s Day quotes. We all want that kind of happiness.
“A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.”
The day we meet a good friend is a lucky day, especially if we look at them through Irish eyes. A good friend is truly hard to find, and that should be celebrated. Hopefully, you’re celebrating with a beer and a good friend today.
“Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.”
Ireland’s history is filled with highs and lows, but it remains standing strong. That is thanks to the Irish, who bring good cheer and a good time wherever they go. Luckily, we are all Irish tonight.
“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.”
There is nothing quite like a rhyme as a toast. Use this one over a glass of beer or a shot of whiskey. Not only will you seem smarter but funnier, too! Let’s rhyme our way through a good night.
“Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don’t want to press your luck.”
Get it? An iron will press the clover, and a clover symbolizes luck; you get it, you get it. Let’s not try to find other ways to press our luck. After all, we want to have more happiness in our lives.
“May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.”
We can’t have happiness without sadness; otherwise, everything would just be meh. But at least we can use our happy days to determine just how bad our sad days were.
“What color should be seen? Where our fathers’ homes have been. But their own immortal Green?”
Okay, this one is slightly different because you need a specific accent. We know you want to say “b-in,” but you need to pronounce it like “bee-n” for this to work. Just go with it.
“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light. May good luck pursue you each morning and night.”
Who doesn’t want a little luck and a lot of money? Toast to that! Let’s make sure we do everything we can to get those things. Even if a toast is all we can do to make sure we get them.
“If you’re lucky enough to be Irish… you’re lucky enough!”
There is something to be said about the luck of the Irish. Sometimes, it just can’t be beat. These St Patrick’s Day quotes to celebrate the Irish spirit encompass that luck.
“May the love and protection Saint Patrick can give be yours in abundance as long as you live.”
We already know a bit about St. Patrick. Take that knowledge and his blessings while you can. They will be the best blessings you can get, and we have talked to all of the saints, and they all agree.
“Here’s to good Irish friends – never above you, never below you, always beside you.”
There is no ranking for the Irish. You are either a friend who is beside them or not. But friends of the Irish will always want to be beside them. They are more welcoming than you will know…until you do.
“Bless your little Irish heart – and every other Irish part.”
The South considers ‘bless your heart’ to be a bit of an insult. Not the Irish. They mean it. But let’s not forget to bless the rest of the body, just in case. You never know what you might run into.
“An Irishman carries his heart in his hand.”
There are some people whose love you will have to earn. Irishmen are ready to hand it to you until you give them a reason to take it away. They are the friendliest people you will ever meet.
