Pearls of Wisdom
“We must change boys from a ‘what can I get’ to a ‘what can I give’ attitude.”
“The code of the knight is still the code of the
gentleman today.”
“The real way to gain happiness is to give it to others.”
“Scoutmasters deal with the individual boy rather than with the mass.”
“Can we not interpret our adult wisdom into the language of boyhood?”
“It is only when you know a boy’s environment that you can know what influences to bring to bear.”
“It’s the spirit within, not the veneer without, that makes a man.”
“It is risky to order a boy not to do something; it immediately opens to him the adventure of doing it.”
“You can only get discipline in the mass by discipline in the individual.”
