Te reo Maori has many wonderful sayings, for example:
"Whaia te iti kahurangi
ki te tuohu koe
Me he maunga teitei"
Translated, I believe it means:
"Persue the treasures of your heart
If you should stoop let it be to a lofty mountain."

May it please the Court:
This is the kind of address one never wants to make. The premature and unexpected death of any person is a tragedy. It inevitably brings with it thoughts of what might have been and especially so in the case of the person whom we gather here today to honour, whose memory we cherish, and whose contribution to New Zealand we salute.

Tuhoe whenua
Tuhoe mana
Tuhoe iwi
Nau mai, haere mai!
Kua tatu, kua tatu, kua tatu tenei wahanga o nga mahi
Na koutou te kaha
Na koutou te maia
Na koutou te manawanui i roto i nga tau
Kei te rangatira, Tamati
Tena koe te kaiarahi o tenei mahi nui
Nau nga kaupapa i hora
Nau nga take i kokiri
Ko koe te ringa ngawari, te ngakau mahaki
Kei te mihi, kei te mihi, kei te mihi te Karauna me te motu ki a koe me to iwi.
Nau mai, haere mai!

E te rangatira
Kei te tangi Te Aupouri
Kei te tangi Te Motu
(We acknowledge a great leader,
The people of Te Aupouri grieve,
The nation grieves with them.)
It is a great honour to represent the government today as we remember a great New Zealander – and one of Dunedin’s favourite adopted sons.
It is a testament to the people, the artistic and literary community and the natural beauty of Otago that Ralph, and another great artist of the far north, Hone Tuwhare, chose to make this region their home.
