"We can keep alive the richness and beauty of a well-played harp, tin whistle, fiddle, bagpipe or accordion; we can savor a story well-told, a ballad well sung; we can appreciate a handmade craft, and an athlete's prowess as he rows a currach or tosses a caber to move forward into the future.  To move forward into the future, we must know our past."

Gaelic translation: 
Ceol na cláirsí, port na feadóige...fuaim an phib uillin, an beidhlín agus an bhosca ceiol - cuireann sé fuadar faion gcroi; scéal agus craiceann ar agus amhrán dea-chasta - sin aoibhneas. An cheird sna lámha, lucht iomra sa gcurrach, caitheadh an chabar - duisionn se an mortas sa duine.  Mas linn a dhul ar aghaidh, caithfear an aimsir a caitheadh a thuiscint.
