In honor of St Paddy and his wonderful holiday, let's post some of our favorite Irish sayings! Here's my favorites to start it off:

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

There are good ships, and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships,
And may they always be.

Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never loved before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.

Slainte!

And then the one that was on the wall at my uncle's place,

"An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of
grass and not fall off the face of the earth."

Yes, he has red hair. He likes ale and beer. :P
