Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Random Irish Sayings and Blessings
Happy St. Patrick’s Day

  1. ‘May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all your heart might desire.’
  2. ‘God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.’ ~ Ed McMahon
  3. ‘May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra year to repent!’
  4. ‘May those who love us love us.
    And those that don’t love us,
    May God turn their hearts.
    And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
    May he turn their ankles,
    So we’ll know them by their limping.’
  5. ‘Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.’
  6. ‘You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.’
  7. ‘Here’s to me, and here’s to you,
    And here’s to love and laughter-
    I’ll be true as long as you,
    And not one moment after.’
  8. ‘May the grass grow long on the road to hell for want of use.’
  9. ‘When Irish eyes are smiling, watch your step!
  10. ‘An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep him from falling off the earth.’
  11. ‘Drink is the curse of the land.
    It makes you fight with your neighbor.
    It makes you shoot at your neighbor.
    It makes you miss.’
  12. ‘In the end, there are only two things to worry about:
    either you are well or you are sick.

    When you’re well, there is nothing to worry about.

    But if you’re sick, then there are two things to worry about:
    either you get well or you will die.

    When you get well, there is nothing to worry about.
    But when you die, then there are two things to worry about:

    either you’ll go to heaven or you’ll go to hell.
    When you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

    But when you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with friends,
    you won’t have time to worry!

    SO WHY WORRY!?!’

  13. ‘May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend.’
