Latin phrase?[edit]

How can this motto derive from a phrase with totally different meaning and significance? If the translatrion of concordia is concord, how can it perform in unity? Neither growth of small things can be misunderstood with strenght. Antique Dutch meaning was: if we, six small states, shall live in mutual friendship, we will rise in international consideration. Not unity, but friendship among partners. Not strenght, but esteem. Story confirms: the Dutch Republic was, indeed, a republic, not an union under a king. And the Dutch Republic, after its independence, has not increased its military strenght, but attended its domestic politics and developed the foreign trade. --Radek (talk) 11:24, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it was edited by a dutch PSV supporter. The concept can be found even in biblical texts, so you can't attribute it to one place/time.

Just insufficient argument.

No other contribution/explanation? (eventually signed)

+How can this motto derive from a phrase with totally different meaning and significance? If the translatrion of ''concordia'' is ''concord'', how can it perform in ''unity''? Neither ''growth'' of small things can be misunderstood with ''strenght''. Antique Dutch meaning was: if we, six small states, shall live in mutual friendship, we will rise in international consideration. Not unity, but friendship among partners. Not strenght, but esteem. Story confirms: the Dutch Republic was, indeed, a republic, not an union under a king. And the Dutch Republic, after its independence, has not increased its military strenght, but attended its domestic politics and developed the foreign trade.
