Leave this world a little better than you found it.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

To get hold of your boys you must be their friend.

We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.

Try to leave this world a little better than you found it and, when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best

Look wide, and even when you think you are looking wide - look wider still.

Mind you, I have had in my sojourn on earth as good a time of it as any man, so I can speak with some knowledge. A writer in the Manchester Guardian who is unknown to me lately described me as "the richest man in the world." That sounds a pretty big order, but when I come to think it out I believe he is not far wrong. A rich man is not necessarily a man with a whole pot of money but a man who is really happy. And I am that.
