The patrol system leads each boy to see that he has some individual responsibility for the good of his patrol.
Robert Baden-PowellIf a man cannot make his point to keen boys in ten minutes, he ought to be shot!
Robert Baden-PowellHappiness is not mere pleasure, not the outcome of wealth. It is the result of active work rather than passive enjoyment of pleasure.
Robert Baden-PowellMind 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.
