Toasts

May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

May I see you grey and combing your grandchildren's hair.

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

May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

May you be in heaven a half hour before the Devil knows you're dead.

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

Here's to a long life, and a merry one,
A quick death, and an easy one,
A pretty girl, and an honest one,
A cold pint, and another one.

Here's to good health to the men,
and may the women live forever.

If you cheat, may you cheat death,
If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart,
If you fight, may your fight for a brother,
And if you drink, may you drink with me.
