    "...All things must pass
    None of life's strings can last
    So, I must be on my way
    And face another day
    Now the darkness only stays the night-time
    In the morning it will fade away
    Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
    It's not always going to be this grey
    All things must pass
    All things must pass away
    All things must pass
    All things must pass away"

    In times like this we should all hang together; or we shall surely all hang separately.

    At the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Ben Franklin said "We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we will all hang separately." He was literally correct. Those brave men who signed this document were signing their death warrant because by signing this document they were committing treason against the crown which carried the death penalty.

    "United We Stand, Divided We Fall".

      So that's  where that came from.
    

    Cool.

    Cool.

    It's been around for awhile, and certainly appropriate these days when group action helps.

    The phrase has been attributed to the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop, both directly in his fable "The Four Oxen and the Lion"[1] and indirectly in "The Bundle of Sticks".
