Wee Bit 'O Wisdom

to catch!!

Cead Mile Failte
One hundred thousand welcomes

Erin Go Braugh
Ireland Forever

May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine down upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
-Irish Blessing

Up the airy mountain
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear o' little men
-William Allingham

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
-Irish Saying

'Tis better to buy a small bouquet
And give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red
To lay on his coffin after he's dead.
-Irish Saying

Green are the hills of Ireland,
And green they will always stay.
Warm are the blessings wished for you,
And they'll always stay that way.
-Irish Blessing

May St. Patrick guard you wherever
you go and guide you in
whatever you do--and may his loving
protection be a blessing to you always.
-Irish Blessing

May the saddest day of your future be no worse
than the happiest day of your past
.-Irish Saying

"May your blessings outnumber
the shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you
wherever you go."
-Irish Blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
and may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
-Irish Blessing

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
-Irish Toast
