“ The Breach of unity puts the World, and All that’s in’t, into a State of War, and turns Every Man's Hand against his Brother; but so long as the Band holds, ’tis the Strength of All the Several Parts of it Gather'd into One. ”
Roger L'Estrange, Fables of Æsop and Other Eminent Mythologists… (1692)
“ A Divided Family can no more Stand, than a Divided Common Wealth; for every Individual Suffers in the Neglect of a Common Safety. 'Tis a Strange Thing that Men should not do That under the Government of a Rational Spirit and a Natural Prudence, which Wolves and Boares do by the Impulse of an Animal Instinct. For they, we see, will make Head, One and All against a Common Enemy; whereas the Generality of Mankind lye Pecking at One Another, till One by One, they are all Torn to Pieces, Never considering (with the Father here) the Necessity and Strength of Union. ”
