Some Irish Blessings

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Some Irish Drinking Toasts

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 me, and here's to you, And here's to love and laughter- I'll be true as long as you, And not one moment after.

Here's a toast to your enemies' enemies!

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!

Here's to our wives and girlfriends: May they never meet!

May the grass grow long on the road to hell for want of use.

May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra year to repent.
