Mā te tini e hoe te waka ka tere ai, mā te ahuwhenua ki te ngaki kai, ka ranea ai he ō mā te kaitahu kai, ā e ora ai a tamaroto, whai hoki, mā te utu mai a ngā kaitango i 'Te Wananga' nei, ka hua ai he moni hei utu mō te mahinga i tēnei nūpepa mō te Māori (TW 13/1/1877:13). / Just as by many people paddling the canoe it moves, by diligence in cultivating food is there an abundance of food for the cook and the health of inner self, so by the payment of subscribers to 'Te Wananga' is there money to pay for the production of this newspaper for Māori.
