The Big Little Book of Irish Wit and WisdomThe Big Little Book of Irish Wit & Wisdom is a grand tour of the traditions, lore and teachings of the Irish - and includes delightful thoughts and sayings like these: You'll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind Three candles that illuminate every darkness: truth, nature, knowledge Every patient is a doctor after his cure The poet who overcharges for a poem shall be stripped of half his rank in society There are three kinds of men who fail to understand women: young men, old men and middle-aged men May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out
