Fridays Proverb.

Maori:
Te anga karaka, te anga koura, kei kitea te Marae

Translate:
The shells of the karaka berry, and the shells of the crayfish, should not be seen from the Marae

Although this clearly has a hygienic undertone, it also refers to discipline. A tribe or war party who disregards organization and has no concern for where they leave their rubbish and gear reflects poor leadership and discipline, thus becoming easy prey for a more regimented force.

To me this means to keep the world clean and healthy.
