This book, produced to inspire everyone but especially those involved in scouting, focuses on the 12 values of Scout Law: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, Henry David Thoreau, Aristotle, Emily Dickinson, and Theodore Roosevelt are some of the many timeless voices who offer hope and wisdom to readers of all ages. Here's a sample: "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed." "We are what we repeatedly do."
The Scout Law: Quotes for Life FROM THE CRITICS American Scouting Digest After reading through, I have to admit that I am impressed. The quotes are very relevant to the Scout Law, not biased towards anything other than Scouting, and diverse enough to please most audiences. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only was this book useful, but that it was also thought provoking.
