Oliver Kaplan, in  _Fortune_:

Make no mistake, the act of organizing itself is powerful. I found that
insights from the combatants of armed conflicts shed light on this. A
former insurgent I interviewed in Colombia quoted to me an adage of
Aristotle and Shakespeare: “A single swallow doesn’t make a summer” –
meaning there’s safety in numbers.
