I thought today we could rock it old-school, green style. You know, taking a look at some uses of the word before everyone was "going green." Some quotes for your enjoyment:

- I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them sam I am. (Dr. Seuss)
- O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on. (William Shakespeare)
- An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . . The truly wise person is colorblind. (Albert Schweitzer)
- You could cover the whole earth with asphalt, but sooner or later green grass would break through. (Ilya Ehrenburg)
- Green fingers are the extension of a verdant heart. (Russell Page)
- But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. (Psalms 52:8)
- Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. (Doug Larson)
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
