Celtic/Gaelic Sayings

A Gaelic Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sunshine warm upon your face.

And the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His Hand.

 

"May you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you’re dead."

"May the good Lord take a liking to you, but not too soon."

Soft words butter no parsnips but they won't harden the heart of the cabbage either

There are finer fish in the sea than have ever been caught

A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood

What butter and whiskey will not cure there's no cure for

Its for her own good that the cat purrs.

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse

No matter who succeeds or fails, the peacemaker will always suffer

To be red-haired is better than to be without a head

Remember even if you loose all, keep your good name for if you loose that you are worthless

Sending the goose on a message to the fox's den

Put it on your shoulder and say it is not a burden

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, can not keep it from themselves
