Aesop

The boy cried "Wolf, wolf!" and the villagers came out to help him.

Better to die once and for all, than live in continual terror.

The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant or an enemy, must not wonder if it be at last turned against themselves.

United we stand. divided we fall.

In union there is strength. "Union gives strength" is the version in The Fables of Aesop, ed. Joseph Jacobs, p. 87 (1964).

Union gives strength.

Wealth unused might as well not exist.
