Ua mau ke ea o ka `aina i ka pono.
The life of the land is preserved in righteousness.
(Motto of State of Hawaii)
He kehau ho`oma`ema`e ke aloha.
Love is like a cleansing dew. The cleansing power of aloha can soothe and heal. Hurt, pain, and suffering yield to aloha's healing power.
Ua ola no i ka pane a ke aloha.
There is life in a kindly reply. Though one may have no gift to offer to a friend, a kind word or a friendly greeting is just as important. Mai ho`oni i ka wai lana mâlie.
Do not disturb the water that is tranquil. Let the peaceful enjoy their peace.
A`ohe pau ka `ike i ka hâlau ho`okâhi.
All knowledge is not taught in one school.
`A`ohe loa i ka hana a ke aloha.
Distance is ignored by Love.
Ua ola loko i ke aloha.
Love gives life within. Love is imperative to one's mental, physical, emotional and spiritual welfare.
Aloha mai no, aloha aku; o ka huhu ka mea e ola `ole ai.
When love is given, love should be returned; anger is the thing that gives no life.
(Hawaiians understood the transforming power of aloha. Love begets love, and enmity produces enmity. Anger only serves to hurt the angry, causing emotional upset, which impairs mental, physical, and spiritual well-being)
Ua ola no i ka pane a ke aloha.
There is life in a kindly reply.
(Though one may have no gift to offer to a friend, a kind word or a friendly greeting is just as important)
He kehau ho`oma`ema`e ke aloha.
Love is like a cleansing dew.
(The cleansing power of aloha can soothe and heal. Hurt, pain, and suffering yield to aloha's healing power)
Môhala ka pua, ua wehe kaiao.
The blossoms are opening, for dawn is breaking.
