International origin
In unity, there is strength
Meaning: Individual efforts pale against coordinated action; collective power overcomes obstacles no single person could.
Origin: An old idea illustrated by Aesop's fable of the bundle of sticks. The Dutch Republic's motto, concordia res parvae crescunt, said that small things grow through concord, and Belgium adopted l'union fait la force — unity makes strength — as its national motto after 1830.
