Chentu concas, chentu berrittas. One hundred heads, one hundred hats.

By Unknown.
It's a famous sentence used to indicate a group who are not very united because everyone brings their own ideas without caring about those of others. "Berrita" refers to a traditional hat worn throughout Sardinia until the end of 19th century. There are many versions of this sentence in languages spoken on Sardinia and Corsica.
