I searched the internet for Irish sayings. There were blessings, Irish sayings and toasts. I am going to write a few that I got from some different web sites I looked on. They had some very interesting ones.

And the most famous Irish saying in a blessing form:
May the road rise to meet you?

May God hold you,
In the Palm of his hand.
