"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted."
Aesop
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
Socrates
"It is not my crimes that will convict me," he said. "But instead, rumour, gossip; the fact that by whispering together you will persuade yourselves that I am guilty."
Socrates
"He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!"
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people! It is people! It is people!
"Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou
ka ora ai te iwi "
With your food basket and my food basket
the people will thrive .
"Kia ora te marino, kia ora whakapapa
Pounamu te moana,
Kia tere karohirohi i mua i tou
Huarahi."
May calm sea be spread around you,
May the sea glisten like
Greenstone & the shimmer of
Summer dance across your path.
“Me he toka tu moana.”
Your strength is like a rock standing in the ocean.
"Maa ngaa parirau te manu ka rere."
It is the wings that allow the bird to fly.
"Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei"
Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain
