all for one

Group loyalty principle

All for one is the first half of the motto "all for one and one for all," expressing mutual loyalty and collective commitment—each member supports the group, and the group supports each member.

The phrase is associated with Alexandre Dumas's *The Three Musketeers* and invokes solidarity, teamwork, or shared sacrifice: It's all for one around here—we look out for each other.
