Synopsis
All of the wise, insulting, obscure, profound, and sometimes idiotic sayings of the Irish are distilled in this unique collection of quotes-from famous thinkers like Yeats, Swift, and Wilde to the layman. Irish wit is an art form, and for years the Irish have mixed wit with wisdom, as they have porter with whiskey, and to the same intoxicating effect. These maxims record Irish opinions on love, religion, the 'hard stuff,' the English, and common subjects like fighting, sport, and food. This book is ideal for those looking for the perfect toast or wishing to impress people at parties.
