Quotes About Solidarity

Ceux qui ont vécu dans les camps se souviennent de ces prisonniers qui allaient, de baraque en baraque, consoler leurs semblables, leur offrant les derniers morceaux de pain qui leur restaient.

United we stand, assholes. Divided we're screwed.

There are two good reasons for being nice to the underdogs in this life. One, because if the underdog grows up to be the kind of person that starts shooting, you'll have a chance at survival. Two, because it's the right thing to do the third reason being that the wheel of fortune is always spinning, spinning. And just because you're at the top today doesn't mean it'll always be so. When you're at the bottom, you'll want someone to be there for you too.
