    HAWAIIAN PROVERBS
    & POETICAL SAYINGS

    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau are traditional proverbs or wise sayings of the Hawaiian people. These proverbs are known for being preserved and handed down from generation to generation through stories. They are  extremely important in the Native Hawaiian culture and are often used when we want to feel connected to our culture. 

    ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia.

    No task is too big when done together by all
    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau, 142

    He pūnāwai kahe wale ke aloha.

    Love is a spring that flows freely.
    (May your love flourish)
    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau, 936

    Hoʻokāhi no lā o ka malihini.

    Stranger only for a day
    (We welcome you back as family)
    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau, 1078

    ʻUkuliʻi ka pua, onaona i ka mauʻu.

    Tiny is the flower, yet it scents the grasses around it
    (You bring joy to all around you)
    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau, 2863

    ʻIke aku, ʻike mai, kōkua aku, kōkua mai; pela iho la ka nohona ʻohana.

    (Recognize others, be recognized, help others, be helped; such is a family)
    ʻŌlelo Noʻeau, 1200
