Used charmingly by the 34th president of the USA, Dwight D. Eisenhower, on his farewell address to the nation, on the 17th of January 1961:
"Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all."
