Quotes of Luck, Family & Abundance for St. Patrick’s Day

Whether you celebrate by watching parades, consuming green-colored goodies or enjoying greenery in nature—we hope you have a fabulous St. Patrick’s Day!


A lot of fun things are associated with St. Patrick’s Day—lush green clover, the luck o’ the Irish, enjoying time with friends and family and even green beer. The history of this holiday goes back as far as the 7th Century with the patron saint of Ireland who wasn’t even born in the country!

Although mention of the saint who started it all is uncommon these days, the holiday does seem to bring about a wave of positive feelings—spring is around the corner, luck is on your side and maybe something tricky lays in wait to keep you on your toes.

Here are a few of our favorite St. Patty’s Day inspired quotes:
