The strength of a people lies in their numbers.
We often surround ourselves with the people we most want to live with, thus forming a club or clique, not a community. Anyone can form a club; it takes grace, shared vision, and hard work to form a community.
I've got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn't a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.
When a group of people get together, it's collective power. You know that you're doing it for the good.
One can never speak enough of the virtues, the dangers, the power of shared laughter.
Coming from B2K, I understand the importance of camaraderie.
Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.
I'm always with my band; they're my best friends.
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
It's usually good news when people call collectively.
If people are not listening to you as individuals, it's always good to get together and make a stand for something.
When you choose to become part of a team, you cease to exist as an individual.
Really, the club is like a big family. The locker-room spirit is also similar to what I had experienced at Liverpool, but I really like it here at Juventus, because it's not just a set of champions. The sense of a team, the group, is strongly felt.
Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as right in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as brute force.
People don't do the Macarena together. Or if they do, they do it to get closer, to get together. It's the same thing with the Electric Slide.
By prayer, community is created as well as expressed.
We always operated within a sense of community not just about the band. It's important to the way we define ourselves. It's the entire world in which we operate.
The great force for forging a society into a solid mass has always been war.
Caucus unity always needs to be foremost in the mind of the leader. During a leadership campaign, it's kind of natural that groupings develop, and now I have to make sure that all melts away.
There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity... We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.
The individualist is an atom thinking about himself (Thank God I am not as other men); the communist, too often, is an atom having ecstasies of self-denial (Thank God I am one in a crowd).
We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves... One can't unite bananas with scattered leaves.
Remember that the revolution is what is important, and each one of us, alone, is worth nothing.
Basketball is a great mystery. You can do everything right. You can have the perfect mix of talent and the best system of offense in the game. You can devise a foolproof defensive strategy and prepare your players for every possible eventuality. But if the players don’t have a sense of oneness as a group, your efforts won’t pay off. And the bond that unites a team can be so fragile, so elusive.
We all allow each other to explore our individual things that make us happy, and so we're just being supportive of each other and making sure we focus on Fifth Harmony, and what's important to the group is important to all five of us.
