Irish Blessings
Irish Blessings carry the distilled wisdom of generations — short, sharp and endlessly quotable. Here are 15 of the finest, gathered from our proverbs collection.
May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
May you get all your wishes but one, so you always have something to strive for!
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.
May the most you wish for be the least you get.
May God grant you many years to live, for sure He must be knowing the earth has angels all too few.
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song.
May the roof above us never fall in, and may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
May you always walk in sunshine. May you never want for more. May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.
May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.
May the road rise up 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.
May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun and find your shoulder to light on.
May your neighbours respect you, troubles neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
