1. Ar lorg sonais
Ar thóir sonais

Both of the above mean in pursuit of happiness

2. Hope - Dóchas
Happiness - Sonas
Life - Saol
Luck - Ádh

3. Tagann grásta Dé le foighne
Patience wins the grace of God

Best of luck!!

Good question, so I googled it and found this

PHP Code:


			
Ella Higginson (1861-1940) described the meaning of the four-leafed clover thus:



"One leaf is for hope, & one is for faith,

And one is for love, you know,

And God put another in for luck,

If you search, you will find where they grow."

Hope - Dóchas

Faith - This is tricky to translate, it depends on the type of "Faith" you mean, for example, religious faith or faith in a person.
Faith (religious belief) Creideamh
Faith (as in a person) muinín

Love - Grá

Luck - Ádh
