The day of Saint Patrick is nothing without a single Irish blessing involved. They bring lots of luck and joy to both the person telling it and hearing it. You can’t have a great day of celebration without throwing out one or two Irish blessings toward your friend. Unlike other sayings, the Irish ones are special. An Irish blessing is almost always heartwarming, and there is a reason behind that.
Leprechauns and pots of gold at the end of a rainbow — all of those focus on Irish luck. Irish sayings overall try to focus more on the positive attributes of life. Gold, happiness, and boundless amounts of luck at your disposal — the Irish understand the struggles of modern life and try to help you. An Irish wish is heard not only on St. Patrick's Day, but also on any other day — it is a universal thing.
With Saint Patrick’s day just around the corner, it might be a good time to look up some sayings, blessings, and wishes that the Irish are not afraid to share (minus the accent). We have compiled some of the luckiest ones in the list below. If the blessing brought you luck, leave an upvote on it. Otherwise, if you have a saying of your own, share it in the comments below.

There are good ships and there are wood ships,
the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships,
and may they always be.

Grant me a sense of humor, Lord,
The saving grace to see a joke,
To win some happiness in life,
And pass it on to another folk.

An old Irish recipe for longevity:
Leave the table hungry.
Leave the bed sleepy.
