#community

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

No one would choose a life of possessing all good things on condition of being solitary, for man is a social being and naturally disposed to live with others.

Shared joys are doubled, while shared griefs are halved.

A state is an association of similar persons whose aim is the best life possible.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.

Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

A person is a person only through other persons.

Wisdom is like a colossal baobab tree: no single person's arms can embrace it alone.

When spider webs unite in harmony, they can tie up an elephant.

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.

A single bracelet does not jingle; it takes two to make music.

He who learns must also teach; he who gets must also give.

A single stone in the wall of the caravanserai is neither king nor slave, yet without it, the roof collapses.

It is in the shelter of each other that the people truly live.

Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.

Treat every elder as your own grandparent, every contemporary as your sibling, and every child as your own son or daughter.

A state arises out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.

The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.

What brings no benefit to the hive brings no benefit to the bee.

What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bee.

A branch cut off from the adjacent branch must of necessity be cut off from the whole tree also.
