Irish Quotations
It is the most beautiful, the most fertile, the most abundant, the most productive country on the face of the earth. It is a lovely land, indented with noble harbors, intersected with transcendent, translucent streams divided by mighty estuaries. Its harbors are open at every hour for every tide, and are sheltered from every storm that can blow from any corner of heaven. Oh, yes, it is a lovely land and where is the coward that would not dare to die for it!
-Daniel O'Connell, Speech at Tara, 1843
