"Hula is the art of Hawaiian dance, which expresses all we see, smell, taste, touch, feel, and experience. It is joy, sorrow, courage, and fear." ~ Robert Cazimero
Hawaii has the ability to bring people together in an environment of trust, positive energy, and warmth. Within this environment interactions occur that catalyze the beginnings of great things. ~ Burt Lum, Honolulu Advertiser, 10/14/03
Hawaii is my partner. ~ Don Ho
Aloha means when you give someone a lei, you do not buy the lei—you make the lei with your own hands and then you give it away and that lei is made with love and respect and everything that should be in the soul of man. ~ Levon Ohai
