Irish Lions

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or lions:

    Hindered characters
    seldom have mothers
    in Irish stories, but they all have grandmothers.

    these heroic happy dead
    who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
    they did not stop to think they died instead
    then shall the voice of liberty be mute?

    He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
