“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light” (Irish blessing)

An Irish blessing has been printed on several images:
 
“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.”
 
The origin of the saying is unknown; this version has been cited in print since at least 1999. “May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light and may God’s grace be with you each day and each night” was cited in a 1986 newspaper.
 
“May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside!” is a related blessing.
