St. Patrick's Feast Day

As you celebrate St. Patrick's Day and lift the Irish Gold (or green) in toast, here are some words of encouragement to bestow upon your comrades:

• May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
• May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
• A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.
• As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.
• May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

Or you can learn a few Gaelic phrases, like saol fada chugat - a long life to you!
