Many of the quotes that are attributed to Ireland are those that
are full of dealing with strife and problems. For many
individuals in Ireland's history, their lives were anything but
easy. They struggled to find food, homes and shelter many times.
And, when they had that there was disease ravishing them. For
those in Ireland, many quotes are very religious in nature as
well. The goal of each is to inspire or just to learn to deal
with the things that were put at their feet.
