| WELCOME to my St Patrick's Page 2002 |
| The Irish have a way with words, and the proverbs bring a cheery smile to the face and really are very much, commonsense, and worthy of reading. Combining pictures of Irish scenery and the witty words is my way of celebrating St Patricks Day. |

| May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home |
| May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam |
| There is no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down |
| Neither give cherries to pigs nor advice to a fool . Soft words butter no parsnips but they won't harden the heart of the cabbage either. |
| Many an Irish property was increased by the lace of a daughter's petticoat |

| The best way to keep loyalty in a man's heart is to keep money in his purse. |
| The longest road out is the shortest road home |
| Leprachauns, castles, good luck and laughter Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums A thousand welcomes when anyone comes ... That's the Irish for you! |
| Love is blind to blemishes and faults |

| Three essential truths - sunrise, sunset, and death |
| A wise head keeps a shut mouth |
| Even a tin knocker will shine on a dirty door |
| An old pipe gives the sweetest smoke |
| May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours |
