Happy St Patrick's Day! Here are ten Irish blessings:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the leprechauns dance over your bed and bring you sweet dreams.
May the roof above us never fall in. And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
If God sends you down a stony path, may He give you strong shoes.
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
May those who love us love us. And those that don't love us, may God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so we'll know them by their limping.
May you get all your wishes but one, so you always have something to strive for.
May the Lord keep you in His hand, and never close His fist too tight.
May the winds of fortune sail you, may you sail a gentle sea. May it always be the other guy who says this drink's on me.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
