live long and prosper

"Live long and prosper" is a phrase popularized by the fictional character Spock from the television series Star Trek. It is a commonly used Vulcan greeting and farewell, associated with the Vulcan hand symbol—a raised hand with the palm forward and the thumb extended upward in a V-shaped manner, separating the middle and ring fingers. The phrase carries a connotation of well-wishing, extended life, and material success. It has transcended the Star Trek franchise and is now sometimes used more broadly to express a desire for overall happiness and fulfillment.
