Irish Sayings and Irish Blessings (from The Holiday Spot, where you'll find lots more:

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

May you be in
Heaven a half hour before the
Devil knows you're dead!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?

May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts
And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping!

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.
That's the Irish for you!

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

Irish Toasts (from Island Ireland where you'll find Irish toasts for all occasions):

Saint Patrick was a gentlemen,

Shown through strategy and stealth,

Drove all the snakes from Ireland,

Here's a toasting to his health.

But not too many toastings,

Lest you lose yourself and then,

Forget the good Saint Patrick,

And see all those snakes again!

Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
