Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

Happiness doesn't come from b...

Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

Of course, animals have to be ...

Of course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

From the boys' point of view,...

From the boys' point of view, scouting puts them into fraternity-gangs, which is their natural organisation, whether for games, mischief, or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipments; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active, open-air life.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

My belief is that we were put ...

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life - that is, to be happy.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

Football in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and 'play the game,' and these are the best of training for any game of life.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

Scoutcraft is a means through ...

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.

Giving responsibility is the key to success with boys, especially with the rowdiest and most difficult boys.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

The Scoutmaster who is a hero ...

The Scoutmaster who is a hero to his boys holds a powerful lever to their development but at the same time brings a great responsibility on himself. They are quick enough to see the smallest characteristic about him, whether it be a virtue or a vice.

Robert Baden-Powell 52 quotes

The best workers, like the happiest livers, look upon their work as a kind of game: the harder they play the more enjoyable it becomes.
