Magnify

If you need a few words today while you're clinking glasses, here are a some of our favorite Irish sayings and blessings:

"As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!"

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

"God is good, but never dance in a small boat."

"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 you live to be a hundred years...With one extra year to repent."

"If you're enough lucky enoughto be Irish...
You're lucky enough! My wild Irish rose
The sweetest flower that grows
You may search everywhere
But none can compare to my wild Irish rose
My wild Irish rose
The sweetest flower that grows
Someday for my sake she may let me take
A bloom from my wild Irish rose."

"May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night."

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