New Zealander Proverbs


A hand that is ready to hit may cause you great trouble.

Don't lean on your fellow men -- theirs is an ever moving support.

Let someone else sing your praise.

A warrior dies in battle; a mountain climber on the rocks, but a farmer dies of old age.

Old canoes can be restored, but youth and beauty cannot.

A house full of people is filled with different points of view.

Walk in the valley of our ancestors, learn of the history, and marvel at the beauty.

Boast during the day; be humble at night.

A little axe, when well used, brings lots of food.

Even food can attack.

The prudent embark when the sea is calm -- the rash when it's stormy.

Who lives in a quiet house has plenty.

Don't spend time with people who don't respect you.

In peace be faithful; in war be valiant.

The more you ask how much longer it will take, the longer the journey will seem.

Never spend time with people who don't respect you.

Be quick to follow up an advantage.

Can I pull down the sun with a forked stick, or prevent it from running its course?

Let us hurry and finish up the food; when visitors arrive, the meal will be over.

In this world I greet my oldest survivor -- the earth.

Hold on tight to the words of your ancestors.

When one chief falls, another rises.
