Irish Banks

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or banks:

    Hindered characters
    seldom have mothers
    in Irish stories, but they all have grandmothers.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    I live for those who love me,
    Whose hearts are kind and true;
    For the Heaven that smiles above me,
    And awaits my spirit too;
    For all human ties that bind me,
    For the task by God assigned me,
    For the bright hopes yet to find me,
    And the good that I can do.
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
