He aha te mea nui ki tēnei ao? Māku e ki atu. He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. (What is the most important thing in the world? I would reply that it is people, people, people.)

Toitū te marae a Tāne-Mahuta, Toitū te marae a Tangaroa, Toitū te tangata. If the land is well and the sea is well, the people will thrive.
