Proverbs and Thoughts
When Love is given,
Love should be returned;
Anger is the thing,
that gives no Life.
Distance is ignored by Love.
Love is worn like a wreath,
through the summers and winters.
Love is everlasting.
Love is a spring that flows freely,
Love is without bounds,
and exists for all.
It is well to be united
in thought, that all
may have Peace.
Peace is a Chief,
the Lord of Love.
Life and Death are in the Mouth.
Spoken words can enliven or distroy
No kind deed has ever,
lacked it's reward.
No deed lacks a reward.
Every deed, good or bad,
receives its just reward.
No task is to big,
when done together by all.
The Land is a Chief,
Man is its servant.
The Land has no need for Man,
but Man needs the Land for Life.
When you take care of the land,
the land will nourish you.
Feed a man with fish,
he will live from day to day.
Teach a man to fish,
he will live forever.
(Maori)
The branches grow,
because of the trunk.
Without our ancestors,
we would not be here.
The stresses of Life,
are relieved in the house of God.
He who has a God, Lives;
he who has none, dies.
"The cause of Hawaii and independence
is larger and dearer than the
life of any man connected with it.
Love of country is deep-seated
in the breast of every Hawaiian,
whatever his station."
Lili`uokalani, Hawaii's last Queen
THE LORD'S PRAYER IN HAWAIIAN
E ko makou makua iloko o ka lani,
e hoanoia kou inoa. E hiki mai kou aupuni;
e malamaia kou makemake ma ka honua nei,
e like me ia i malamaia ma ka lani la;
E haawi mai ia makou i keia la,
i ai na makou no keia la. E kala
mai hoi ia makou i ka makou lawehala ana,
me makou e kala nei i ka poe i
lawehala i ka makou. Mai hookuu oe ia
makou i ka hoowalewale ia mai;
E hoopakele no na e ia makou i ka ina;
No ka mea, nou ke aupuni, a me ka mana,
a me ka hoonaniia, a mau loa aku.
Amene
