Some quotes I like:

"Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy which sustained him 
through temporary periods of joy." Yeats

"If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough." Unknown 

"There is a tradition in Mexico that each person dies three times:  the moment in which the body stops
functioning; the time that the remains are consigned to the grave; and that moment, sometime
in the future, in which the person's name is spoken for the last time. Then the person is really gone.
Those who preserve the memories of persons from their own family's past are preventing that third death." (Klein)

"Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what is the worth of a human life unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?" (Cicero)

"I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my father and his father and all our fathers, and in front to see my son and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes. As I felt so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning and no end. And the hand of his father grasped my father's hand and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was to Time That Is and Is Not Yet, raised their hands to show the link." (Llewellyn)
