Irish Toasts

• May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
• May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
• A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.
• As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.
• A friend's eye is a good mirror.
• May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
• He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all.
• May the Lord keep you in His hand and never close His fist too tight.
• May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.
• May the sound of happy music, and the lilt of Irish laughter, fill your heart with gladness, that stays forever after.
• May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty. And our ale never turn musty.
• St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time -- a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic.
• "Maybe it's bred in the bone, but the sound of pipes is a little bit of heaven to some of us." ~ Nancy O'Keefe
