What Shall We Drink?
To hospitality, the sweetest thing that ever graced a honael
Here's to the girlie who isn't too wise,
Or hides all her wisdom behind her two eyes!
May your mirror never reflect a sorrow!
Here's to man from morning to night.
Here's to the man with courage to fight.
The courage to fight and the courage to live—
The courage to learn and to love and forgive.
—Anon
To woman—the masterpiece!
—Confucius
To women, God bless them—even if they damn us!
Here's to mothers—the guideposts to Heaven!
—Meusa
Here's to the maid ye love, my lads.
And here's to her promise true.
And here's to the blue of the sky in her eye
And the print of her tiny shoe!
I drink to her sunny hair, my lads,
I drink to her lips rose red.
The lass you love is the world to you
When all's been done and said!
—Robert Emmet Mac Alarney
To our wives, whom we may notknow so well,but who know
us perfectly!
Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may
she always be right;,but our country right or wrong!
—Stephen Decatur
America and England:and maythey never have any division
but the Atlantic between them!
—Charles Dickens
That government of the people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the earth!
—Abraham Lincoln
