An individual step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.

Sunday is a day of rest. Loafing is not rest.

Happiness is open to all, since, when you boil it down, it merely consists of contentment with what you have got and doing what you can for other people.

"Be Prepared." "Be prepared for what?" "Why, for any old thing."

I have often urged my young friends, when faced with an adversary, to "play polo" with him; i.e., not to go at him bald-headed but to ride side by side with him and gradually edge him off your track. Never lose your temper with him. If you are in the right there is no need to, if you are in the wrong you can't afford to.

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

When you want a thing done, 'Don't do it yourself' is a good motto for Scoutmasters.
