united we stand

Collective strength motto

United we stand is the first half of a proverb—united we stand, divided we fall—expressing that a group's strength depends on its members staying together.

Often used alone as a rallying cry for solidarity in the face of adversity: United we stand! We won't let them break us apart.

The phrase appears frequently in political rhetoric and calls for national unity.
