Here are a few Irish toasts and blessings to ponder as you hoist the green beer tonight. Happy St. Pat's Day
As you slide down the bannister of life,
May the splinters never point the wrong way.
May misfortune follow you the rest of your life,
but never catch up.
May your blessings outnumber
the shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
wherever you go.
A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.
May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
May you...
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no-one is watching,
Screw like it's being filmed,
And drink like a true Irishman.
The reason the Irish are always fighting each other
Is they have no other worthy opponents.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.
Here’s to a fellow who smiles
When life runs along like a song.
And here’s to the lad who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
May the Good Lord take a liking to you,
... but not too soon!
Ireland is where strange tales begin
and happy endings are possible.
