United we stand, divided we fall
Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : United we stand, divided we fall
The state motto of Kentucky, United we stand, divided we fall, was from a popular 1768 tune entitled the "Liberty Song," by John Dickinson. Kentucky's first governor, Isaac Shelby, was particularly fond of a stanza of the song which proclaimed, "Then join in hand, brave Americans all; By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall."
Has been attributed to Aesop.
Appears in the song Hey You by Pink Floyd
