If we understand we need each other, we will keep together.

About This Quote

If we understand we need each other, we will keep together. When the world goes to war, it's the people that stay together that end up winning. When your family is down in the dumps, you might not be able to help them, but you can help yourself by keeping your spirits up. If you are one of those people who gets sad when someone in your family is upset, think about what it would be like if they were the only one you could turn to. It would be hard to live with yourself if you didn't try to make everything better.
