The health of the salmon and of the trout That swim back and forward near the Bull's Mouth; Don't ask for saucepan, jug or mug, Down the hatch--drink it up!
--------------------
May your days be filled with Merriment and May you walk in Balance with Creator.

The health of all Ireland and of County Mayo, And when that much is dead, may we still on the go; From the County of Meath, the health of the hag, Not of her but her drink is the reason we brag; Your health one and all, from one wall to the other, And, you outside there -- speak up, brother!

Like the goodness of the five loaves and two fishes, Which God divided among the five thousand men, May the blessing of the King who so divided Be upon our share of this common meal!
"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
