Retirement Toasts


Twenty years a child; 
twenty years running wild;
twenty years a mature man,
and after that, praying.
--Irish Proverb




May all your joys be pure joys, 
and all your pain champagne.





The test of Gold is Fire
The test of Truth is Time
The test of God's love are the heavens above
and everything sublime
Treasures in life are many,
dreams realized but few
But I know the test of God's goodness
is when he gave me a friend like you.




Sliocht sleacht ar shlioch bhur sleachta.
"Blessings on your posterity."




Fad saol agat. 
"Long life to you."





Fad saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bas in Eirinn.
"Long life to you, a wet mouth, and death in Ireland."





Go n-eiri an t-adh leat.
"Good luck."




Go mbeire muid beo ar an am seo aris!
"May we be alive at this time next year."





I've drank to your health in taverns,
I've drank to your health in my home,
I've drank to your health so damn many times,
I believe I've ruined my own!




May your liquor be cold,
May your women be hot.
And may your troubles slide off of you
slicker than snot.




May your bank account always be bigger than your troubles.





May you get all your wishes but one
so you always have something to strive for!




Merry met, and merry part,
I drink to thee with all my heart.



Work is the curse of the drinking class.
--Oscar Wilde





Moderation is a fatal thing-- nothing succeeds like excess.
--Oscar Wilde




As you ramble through life, whatever be your goal;
Keep your eye upon the doughnut, and not upon the hole.




May friendship, like wine, improve as time advances.
And may we always have old wine, old friends, and young cares.




May you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed,
and may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.




May misfortune follow you the rest of your life,
but never catch up.




You're not to old when your hair turns gray
You're not to old when your teeth decay.
But you'll know you're awaiting that final sleep,
When your mind makes promises your body can't keep.





Here's to Destiny
May she not forget us in our time.




To all the days here and after
May they be filled with fond memories, happiness, and laughter.




May you always have a cool head and a warm heart.





Happiness being a dessert so sweet
May life give you more than you can ever eat.





A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.





May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."





It's easy to grin
when your ships come in
and you've got the stock market beat,
but the man worth while
is the man who can smile
when his pants are too tight in the seat.
--Judge Smails in the film "Caddyshack"




May you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed,
and may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.





May your health be like the capital of Ireland--
Always Dublin!





May your neighbors respect you, 
trouble neglect you,
angels protect you,
and heaven accept you!




"Here's to those who wish us well,
as for the rest, they can go to Hell!"





May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.






Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.




History--
Can't live with it,
Can't live without it.




God is good, but never dance in a small boat.




Four blessings upon you...
Older whiskey
Younger women [men]
Faster horses
More money





May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty. 




May the ships at sea never be bottoms up.





Go maire sibh bhur saol nua.
"May you enjoy your new life."
