Happy St. Patty's Day!

Here's to the Irish!

They may not know what they want, but by God, they're willing to fight for it!

— Traditional toast


For the record, the traditional toasts for three other peoples of the British Isles are:

Here's to the British, a nation of self-made men, thereby relieving the Almighty of a dreadful responsibility.

Here's to the Scots. They kept the faith, and everything else they laid hands upon!

Here's to the Welsh. We don't mean to call them names, we just can't pronounce the ones they've got.
