if we (all) work together
Explanation:
"Nothing is impossible if we work together" sounds like the most natural version to me--I heard it all the time growing up.

You could also say "when we (all) work together," but that option appears to be a bit less frequent. 3700 hits (without all) and 1500 (with all) on google for the "if" option , and a little over 1000 for the "when" option.

You could also change the verb; other options include "come," "stand," "do it," "band," "pull." However, "work" sounds the best to me, and a google search verifies that it appears to be the most frequent:

agree  Michele Armellini: Yes. You kept "together", which is clearly the point. Daring alone won't be enough, but together it can be done.

for those who dares!


Explanation:
I like also Who dares wins. This is really the idiomatic version. For those who dares is a litteral translation. Agree?
