Essay On Unity is Strength.
This proverb indicates the importance of working in a group. There are a lot of sayings and proverbs like…
Two men with the same thought can turn clay into gold.
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other. But woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help.
The Story of the lion and the four bulls is a good example of this proverb. The lion could not kill the four bulls when they stood united. But after sometime the fox sowed the seeds of discord and the bulls started fighting between themselves. They started going separately for grazing and the lion learned about this and hunted all of them one by one. There is another story where an old man in his death bed wanted to indicate the importance of unity to his sons. He called them and gave them one stick to each and asked them to break them which they could do easily. He then gave them a bundle of sticks tied up together and asked them to break it. But they could not do it. He thus indicated that even sticks are united they could not be broken and thus showed them the importance of unity to his sons.
