Thoughts on Thursday, Vol. 11

Hey there and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In the spirit of the holiday, I thought I'd start off with some thoughts on St. Patrick's Day. Let's get started!

"St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic." ~Adrienne Cook

"If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?" ~Stanislaw J. Lec

"May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of St. Patrick behold you."
~Irish Blessing

"He was a terror to any snake that came in his path, whether it was the cold, slimy reptile sliding along the ground or the more dangerous snake that oppresses men through false teachings. And he drove the snakes out of the minds of men, snakes of superstition and brutality and cruelty." ~Arthur Brisbane

"If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough!" ~Irish Saying

Staying in the theme of the holiday, here are some thoughts on luck:

"Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work out for the rabbit." ~R.E. Shay

"Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident." ~Mark Twain

"Luck never gives; it only lends." ~Swedish Proverb

"I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?" ~Jean Cocteau

"It's hard to detect good luck - it looks so much like something you've earned." ~Frank A. Clark

And lastly, just because I want to and it's my blog--so I can--some quotes from the wonderful world of Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that." ~Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

"Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain." ~Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

"Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas." ~Mad Eye Moody, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." ~Sirius Black, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" ~Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Aaaaand there you have it! I hope everyone has a fun (and safe) St. Patrick's Day! I'll see you folks here tomorrow for some Friday Funnies.

Until then,

♥ Marlee
