More Quotes from Robert Baden-Powell:
The great thing that strikes you on looking back is how quickly you have comehow very brief is the span of life on this earth. The warning that one would give, therefore, is that it is well not to fritter it away on things that don't count in the end nor on the other hand is it good to take life too seriously as some seem to do. Make it a happy life while you have it. That is where success is possible to every man.Robert Baden-Powell
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.
Robert Baden-Powell
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 helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.
Robert Baden-Powell
Mind you, I have had in my sojourn on earth as good a time of it as any man, so I can speak with some knowledge. A writer in the Manchester Guardian who is unknown to me lately described me as 'the richest man in the world.' That sounds a pretty big order, but when I come to think it out I believe he is not far wrong. A rich man is not necessarily a man with a whole pot of money but a man who is really happy. And I am that.
Robert Baden-Powell
The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
