Irish Rainbow Sayings

#1. What feels like such a painful loss now will become something beautiful later on. You cannot escape your destiny. You can certainly try. People do so every day. They hold on tight, and the river just dries up.

Elizabeth Lesser

#2. Sorry. I have technical difficulties making it through a room without bumping into something. Thank God my clumsiness is only restricted to the ground. I'd probably kill myself diving if I was this bad underwater. (Tory)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

#3. But I am so voluntarily, and therefore I am not destitute.

Hermann Hesse

#4. The Poplar grows up straight and tall,
The Pear-tree spreads along the wall

Sara Coleridge

#5. I shall ne'er chase rainbows again,
Knowing no pot o' gold awaits at the end.
My Irish treasure is not there.
For ye, my love, abide with me here.

Richelle E. Goodrich

#6. May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. Irish blessing

Stephen Revell

#7. Somebody once said that the Irish derived the greatest benefit from the English language. They court it like a beautiful woman. They make it bray with donkey laughter, they fling it at the sky like paint pots full of rainbow colors.

Malachy McCourt

#8. Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption.

Mother Teresa

#9. After all we speak of people 'taking refuge' in vagueness -the more precise you are, in general the more likely you are to be wrong, whereas you stand a good chance of not being wrong if you make it vague enough.

J.L. Austin

#10. I didn't care about anything except her and the way touching her drove me wild, even as her calm and steady presence soothed the storms that raged within me.

Richelle Mead

#11. Although I regularly convince myself otherwise, because I aim at something doesn't necessarily mean I have a target.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

#12. Life is the way it is. It's worth what it's worth! It does its best, within its limitations. We mustn't ask too much of life, either. Nor should we want to suppress it!

Jean Teule

#13. His coat smelled like Irish Spring and a little bit like potpourri.

Rainbow Rowell

#14. Madonna did amazing songs. She had an amazing sense of style, without a stylist. And she was flawed, and sometimes she admitted it. I'll fight the fight for Madonna. I think she should send me some chocolates or something to thank me.

M.I.A.

#15. We must look hopeful.

Jerome Lawrence

#16. The really happy man never laughs - seldom - though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping is a relief of mental tension - and the happy are not over strung.

Francis Aveling

#17. Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization

Peter Kropotkin

#18. My family are not sporty - they are all doctors or lawyers.

Marion Bartoli

#19. As in the old Irish blessing, may God give you, for every storm, a rainbow; for every tear, a smile. For every care, a promise; a blessing for every trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share; for every sigh, a sweet song, and an answer for every prayer.

Sandra D. Bricker

#20. And it seems possible, moving to the psychological arena, that people can be better off believing in something than in nothing, however untrue that something may be.

Christopher Hitchens
