I have known lots of millionaires who were not happy men they had not got all they wanted and therefore had failed to find success in life. A Singalese proverb says 'He who is happy is rich, but it does not follow that he who is rich is happy.' The really rich man is the man who has fewest wants.
More Quotes from Robert Baden-Powell:
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.Robert Baden-Powell
For these difficulties I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick.

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.
Robert Baden-Powell
A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
Robert Baden-Powell
If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.
