No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpfu… - Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell

Leave this world a little better than you found it.

I went and saw a lot of them at their daily practice of fencing with bamboo sticks and practicing jiu-jitsu to make themselves strong and active and good-tempered. I say good-tempered because it is very much like boxing; you have to take a good many hard knocks and take them smiling. If a fellow lost his temper at it, everybody would laugh at him and think him a fool. In jiu-jitsu they learn how to exercise and how to develop their muscles, how to catch hold of an enemy in many different ways so as to overpower him, how to throw him and, what is very important, how to fall easily if they get thrown themselves. I expect the Scouts of Japan, if they visit England later on, will be able to show us a thing or two in this line.

If a man cannot make his point to keen boys in ten minutes, he ought to be shot!
