Thank you, Daithi (or "David," if you prefer)

It's Irish.

Sometimes TOO MUCH knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially if it confuses us, but for what it's worth, it helped me remember certain phrases when I knew their word for word meanings.

May you have a thousand good (things.)

What a nice way to show appreciation by wishing a blessing on another. It's a lot warmer than just "tanks, Dude."

Ní maith é an duine a bheith leis féin.

I think that maith is more abstract than good thing. Per Ó Dónaill's Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla, maith is defined as goodness or kindness.

But I suppose too, too much knowledge is a very dangerous thing.
