William: I'm sure we can all pull together, sir.Vetinari: Oh, I do hope not. Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions.

Someday, the realm of liberty and justice will encompass the planet. Freedom is not just the birthright of the few, it is the God-given right of all His children, in every country. It won't come by conquest. It will come, because freedom is right and freedom works. It will come, because cooperation and good will among free people will carry the day.

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of other men — above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received and am still receiving.

That was our friendship: equal parts irritation and cooperation.

Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone.

What is impossible for one, many may yet accomplish.

Permit a man to light his fire from yours.

Many hands make light work.

We are born for cooperation, as are the feet, the hands, the eyelids, and the upper and lower jaws.

Light is the task when many share the toil.

By mutual confidence and mutual aid Great deeds are done, and great discoveries made.

We can play to each other's strengths.

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.

One hand washes another.

Every smallest step of modern industry depends upon a cooperation whose maintenance and regulation is the very stuff of law.

Winning wars, after all, is the ultimate test not of the quality of single men but of their capacity to work together and accept common sacrifices.

The age of isolation is gone. And gone are the days in which barbed wire served as demarcation lines, separating and isolating countries from one another. No country can escape looking beyond its boundaries to find the source of the currents which influence how it can live with others.
