Etahi Whakatauki a te Pakeha.
1. Kei hopu kite ahua kau, kei kore e mau te tinana. (Catch not at the shadow and lose the substance.) 2. Anga mai i te ta, anga atu ma te wai. (Come wi' the wind an' gang wi' the water.) 3. Ekore nga kowliatu pango e whakaahua ke kia ma. (Black stones will never grow white.) 4. Engari te liaerere, i te tataka kite waikeri. (Better go about than fall into the ditch.) 5. Ko nga tamariki wera e whakamataku ana kite ahi. (Burnt bairns dread the fire.) 6. Pai ake te kaihe e whakawaha ana i a au, i te hoiho e whakataka ana i a au. (Better ride on an ass that carries me than a horse that throws me.)
