The Hawai’i State Motto
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
“ Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono is a Hawaiian phrase spoken by Kamehameha III and adopted in 1959 as the state motto. It is most commonly translated as "the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness." An alternative translation, which appears at Thomas Square next to a statue of Kamehameha III, is "The sovereignty of the kingdom continues because we are righteous." “
