Get some luck on your side while you search for your pot of gold with these leprechaun quotes!

Leprechauns are a part of Irish folklore and are described as diminutive fairies in the form that looks like a tiny old man.

They are known to be mischievous and guard their gold, although the myth is that their gold is hidden at the end of a rainbow, and if you find it, you get to keep it!

The first known mention of a leprechaun is in the medieval tale Adventure of Fergus, son of Leti.
