HE WHAKATAUKI MAORI.
Tenei ka taia e matou i raro iho nei etahi whakatauki, a e hiahia ana matou kia whakamaramatia mai e o matou hoa maori pakeha hoki nga putake o aua whakatauki. Maramara nui a Mahi, kei riro i a Nolio. Mahia e tona ringa, tino kai, tino makona. Mauri mahi, mauri ora ; mauri noho, mauri mate. He kai tangata, he kai titougitongi; he kai no tona ringa, tino kai, tino makona noa. He toa taua ma te taua: he toa piki pari ma te pari; he toa ngaki kai, ma te huhu tena. Ehara te toa taua, he toa paliekelieke: ka pa tau he toa ngaki kai, e kore e paheke. Hoe ana te mata hi tuna, ara ana te mata hi taua. Ko "Waitaha nga tangata, ko kawe ko to ngalcau. He pounamu kakano rua. He kokonga whare e taeate rapurapu, he kokonga ngakau e kore e taea. Ko te uri o Kapu manawa whiti. He ta kakaho ka kitea, he ta ngakau e hore e kitea. Pu ana roto, ke ana waho. Tera a waho te kai tahi ra, tera a roto te liaehae ke ra. Tenei ano a mutu kei roto i tona whare pungawerewere. Kawe rau te tangata, kawe ke te ngakau. He tao huata e taea te karo, he tao ki e kore e taea.
