10 Celtic Blessings of Wisdom

October 30, 2018 By Jean Wise

Celtic Blessings

In honor of my upcoming pilgrimage to Ireland, I have been collecting Celtic blessings. Here are a few for you today:

A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
 Anonymous

******

A wish that every day for you will be happy from the start and may you always have good luck and a song within your heart.
 Irish Blessing

******

Always remember to forget, the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you!
 Irish proverb

******

You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was!
 Irish proverb

******

Do not resent growing old. Many are denied the privilege.
 Irish proverb

******

Tis better to buy a small bouquet and give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red to lay on his coffin after he’s dead.
 Irish proverb

******

May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

Irish Proverb

******

It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.

Irish Proverb

******

A friend’s eye is a good mirror.

Irish Proverb

******

May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.

Irish Proverb
