Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? When I was in college I use too, but not so much now. Not proud of it, but a group of us would walk to the bars in the area and sample the green beer. By the time we were done we could barely walk home. Those days are long gone, however I still like to have fun on St. Patty’s Day with my family by going to watch the local parade and eating corned beef and cabbage, which is suppose to keep away the angry Leprechauns!

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day filled with lots of Irish tradition! Here are 31 (for each day in March) fun Irish sayings, quotes and proverbs to help get you into the mood and maybe even bring a lucky Irish blessing your way!
