thrive and prosper

Grow and succeed

Thrive and prosper is a formulaic well-wishing phrase, often used as a parting blessing or toast.

The two verbs are near-synonyms—both mean to flourish and do well—so their pairing creates emphatic redundancy.

The phrase echoes the Vulcan salutation "Live long and prosper" from Star Trek, giving it a slightly ceremonial or playful tone: May you thrive and prosper in all your endeavors.
