Quote

Let the elderly, women, and children lie by the roadside without fear of harm.

Kamehameha IKānāwai Māmalahoe (1797)

Note

This line reflects a vision of protecting the vulnerable within society. It leans toward an external standard. Because it is brief, the meaning can widen toward human dignity, safety, and social care.
