Be prepared to toast on St. Patrick's Day!

When March 17th arrives you can raise your glass and toast your Irish friends with one of these phrases.

* * *

May your fire be as warm as the weather is cold.

* * *

Health, and long life to you
Land without rent to you
The partner of your heart to you
and when you die, may your bones rest in Ireland!

* * *

As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.

* * *

May you get all your wishes but one,
So you always have something to strive for.

* * *

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

* * *

Here's to your coffin...
May it be built of 100 year old oaks which I will plant tomorrow.

* * *

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

* * *

May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

* * *

An old Irish recipe for longevity:
Leave the table hungry.
Leave the bed sleepy.
Leave the bar thirsty.

* * *

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

* * *

May you never forget what is worth remembering,
Or remember what is best forgotten.

* * *

May you be in heaven one half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

* * *

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The insight to know where you are,
and the foresight to know when you've gone too far.

* * *

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.

* * *

May God bring good health to your enemies enemies

* * *

May you never make an enemy
When you could make a friend–
Unless you meet a fox among your chickens.
