“Kotahi ano te kohao o te ngira e kuhuna ai te miro ma, te miro pango me te miro whero.

I muri i au, kia mau ki te aroha, ki te ture, me te whakapono”

Potatau Te Wherowhero, 1858

There is but one eye of the needle through which the white, black and red threads must pass.

After I am gone, hold fast to love, to the law, and to resolute faith.
