War has little time for
compassion... It's possible to hate the enemy, but love his
daughter... It's hard to have a serious discussion over the rear
end of a donkey... 'Tis easier to forget yourself than to forget
the land of your birth... An Irish mauseleum is a dandy place to
hide illegal barrels of gunpowder... Men are free or they are not,
the world over... An Irish tin whistle is a good deterrant to
crime... Some promises are impossible to keep... Innocent words,
taken our of context, can be construed as a curse... When taking
gunpowder across the mountains by wagon, always take an extra
barrel... Sometimes marriage is like making a truce with the enemy
in the middle of a war... An empty cradle melts anger... Nothing
brings joy like the familiar face of a friend in a foreign
country... Even a turf fire dies if it's stomped on long enough...
Your deceptions always come back to haunt you... When you love
someone, you must take them as they are... A holy medal can be
worth more than its weight in gold... You can't force your brother
to fight your family's battles... Having a hard head can save your
life... Not only is it hard to go home again, sometimes it's
downright dangerous... Nothing calms a hothead like the realities
of war... If you're going to burn an incriminating letter, make
sure no one saw the postmark... All anyone can ask is to be
perfectly happy for a little while... Sometimes the thing we yearn
for so desparately is the very thing that kills us... You should
always keep an eye on high-spirited Irish animals...It's possible
to be seduced by a country... The deep love of family can bring
you back from the dark void of unconsciousness... You must be able
to forgive yourself... Even a patriot has to earn a living...
There's always a future for people who love each other...
