Faster alone further together

[nuala]

Hello all,
My son would like to make a marble sign of this (apparently) African proverb to place outside an eatery.
I'm studying Latin alone and don't trust myself to translate it.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nuala

Sorry, regards my post about "faster alone etc ", I should explain it's for an inside marble sign, more about staff working together in harmony. And we are in Rome.
Thanks again.

Hello,

As a general statement it could be singuli velocius, ulterius universi. However, the second part is like "all together", so if you want it to potentially apply to a group of two (like you and your son), it probably doesn't work. In that case maybe singuli velocius, ulterius coniuncti would be an option; or singuli velocius, ulterius una.

Hi, no need to create a new thread to add information. You can post on the existing one. I've moved your post for you.

Thank you so much for your speedy reply.
It's really "all together ". Sounds perfect.
Much appreciated.

What about something like:
unus velocius una ulterius
or
unus ocius una ulterius

 

[cinefactus]

if that is potentially ambiguous
solus ocius una ulterius

You're taking the perspective of a single person ("one person alone" vs. "together with others") while I was taking that of many ("each person alone/individually" vs. "all together").

I liked the contrast of unus and una
