Described as a "Plethora of Hawaiian Culture Links," the wait for this page to load is WORTHWHILE.
Use this time to master the Hawaiian value of Ho`omanawanui -- Patience.
Or, use the lumi ho`opaupilikia (bathroom). When you return, pau (done)! And there it is:

*Plethora = fancy English word for "Lots and lots"; "Hô da planny!" in pidgin; Nunui! in Hawaiian.

Hawaiian
Words of Wisdom

Nâ `Ôlelo No`eau
[NAH OH' leh loh noh eh (y)au']

"We shall extend and display respect to all others which reflects our own appreciation of humanity. We shall carry our pride quietly, neither boasting of ourselves nor speaking badly of others - often a dishonest method of self-praise. Yet we must be unashamed of our principles and honest in our criticisms."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct

E lei kau,
e lei ho`oilo i ke aloha.

Love is worn like a wreath through
the summers and the winters.
Love is everlasting.
__________

`A`ohe lokomaika`i i nele i ke pâna`i.
No kind deed has ever lacked its reward.
Hawaiians are known for their generosity, hospitality and warm sharing.
This giving nature is grounded in the
principle of reciprocity,
pâna`i.
When given, the Hawaiian will give back in equal measure or more,
be it a gift or a smile.
__________

E lei no au i kô aloha.
I will wear your love as a wreath.
I will cherish your love as a beautiful ornament.

Hawaiian Holiday
Ka Lâ Nui

"Our children are the most treasured investments of the values and traditions of our culture. We must make every effort to cultivate in our children the pride in being Hawaiian and provide every possible opportunity for them to learn of the values and traditions of our people."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct
>> May Day

"...May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i
Garlands of flowers
ev'rywhere,
All of the colors in the rainbow
Maidens with blossoms in their hair
Flowers that mean we shoud be happy,
Throwing aside a load of care,
Oh, May Day is Lei Day in Hawai`i
Lei Day is happy day out there."
~ Red Hawke, 1928

Hawaiian Story

Hawaiian Values
Nâ Waiwai Hawai`I

"We shall practice Aloha, the heritage from our ancestors, mindful of the virtues of akahai, lôkahi, `olu`olu, ha`aha`a, and ahonui."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct

If you learn just two words in Hawaiian, learn these.
They are two of the most important words in the Hawaiian language, representing paramount Hawaiian values.

>> Aloha & Mahalo

After you've learned those two values, work on these:
akahai, lôkahi, `olu`olu,
ha`aha`a, ahonui."

Hawaiian Song
Ka Mele Hawai`I

"We shall continually strive for spiritual development and adopt an attitude of tolerance and understanding to those who conceive of spirituality in a way different from our own."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct

One of the most beloved songs written by The Reverend Lorenzo Lyons, 1807-1886, also known as Makua Laiana.
>> Hawai`i Aloha

A local classic, it is sung together as a closing song at Hawaiian gatherings with the holding of hands with those adjacent,
swaying with the music, and holding hands up high at the end.

Hawaiian Site
Ka Wahi Hawai`I

"We shall engage in hard work, realizing that laziness breeds unhappiness and weak minds."
~ Hawaiian Code of Conduct

"You're tired and rumpled.

You've just unpeeled yourself
from the grossly inadequate space of a modern airplane seat after spending
at least five hours breathing the stale, recycled air that the industry tries hard to convince you is
healthy.
You trudge up the jet way
and then --"
