United we stand, divided we fall, Minister!

合则胜，分则败，大臣！

Just as John Adams, the second U.S. president, quoted from the ancient Greek Aesop's Fables, " United we stand, divided we fall."

正如美国第二任总统约翰·亚当斯引用古希腊伊索寓言“团结则存，分裂则亡”。

I have encouraged blacks that, together we stand—divided we fall, and show other blacks what they can do if they invest in something in their community.

我鼓励黑人们和则两立，分则俱损。也告诉其他黑人能为自己的社区做些什么。

In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say “United we stand, divided we fall” -- and if I had to choose a slogan it would be “Unity in our diversity.”

在应对如此规模的挑战时，可以毫不夸张地说，“联合，我们就生存；分裂，我们就灭亡”。如果我不得不选择一个口号，那将会是“多样性中的联合”。

I believe when you have tragedies that happen no matter what community it is, that we have to come together with our hearts, our minds and our soul, because I believe united we stand divided we fall.

我相信，当悲剧发生时，无论是什么社区，我们都必须团结一心，统一思想，心灵相交，因为我相信团结会让我们站在一起，分裂只会导致失利。
