THE LAW OF ORGANIZED EFFORT:
When two or more people ally themselves, in a spirit of perfect harmony,
for the purpose of attaining a definite chief end,
if that alliance is faithfully observed by all whom it is composed,
the alliance brings, to each of them,
power that is superhuman and seemingly irresistible in nature.
