Does any one know any quotes about Hawaii? -

Im writing a speech about why hawaii is an amazing vacation destination, and I would like to open with a quote. However, i m having some trouble finding one. (also, im focusing on oahu. A quote about Hawaii in general would be fine. Even one just about tropical islands, maybe. But preferable not a quote on any one specific island unless its oahu. ) Help me out?

In what other land save this one is the commonest form of greeting not Good day, nor How d ye do , but Love ? That greeting is Aloha : love, I love you, my love to you... It is a positive affirmation of the warmth of one s own heart-giving. Jack London, My Hawaii Aloha 1916

Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono.That is the state motto of Hawaii. It means the love of the land is perpetuated in righteousness. You can hear the proper pronunciation in this song by Israel Kamakawiwo ole (IZ), one of Hawaii s most beloved singers.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UubfgGDRJ��

Aloha!
