An Irishman is the only man in the world who will step over the bodies of a dozen naked women to get to a bottle of stout.
The Irishman is so religious, if you tell him you are an atheist, he'll ask you if the God you do not believe in is Protestant or Catholic.
The Irishman is a people who don't know what they want and are prepared to fight to the death to get it.
The Irishman is not at peace unless he is at war, just as the scots are not at home unless they are abroad, and the english are not happy unless they are miserable.
The Irishman is very often likely to become a respected man when found outside of Ireland in another environment. The economic and intellectual conditions that prevail in his own country do not permit the development of individuality.
