Hawai‘i Wisdom — December 2015

‘A‘ohe lokomaika‘i i nele i ke pana‘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. When given, the Hawaiian will give back
in equal measure or more,
be it a gift or a smile. Source: ‘Olelo No‘eau by Mary Kawena Pukui
