Sir Apirana's most famous quote :

E tipu, e rea,

Mo ngā ra o tau ao;

Ko to ringa ki ngā rakau a te Pāhekā

Hei ara mo to tinana,

Ko to ngākau ki ngā taonga a o tipuna Māori

Hei tikitiki mo to māhuna,

A, ko to wairua ki to Atua,

Nāna nei ngā mea katoa.

Translation :

Grow up and thrive for the days destined to you

Your hands to the tools of the Pakeha to provide physical sustenance

Your heart to the treasures of your ancestors as a diadem for your brow

Your soul to God to whom all things belong

‘He Tipua’
