Correcting Bad Habits Cannot Be Done By

The Most Worth-while Thing Is To Try To Put Happiness Into The Lives Of Others.

Young Men, Of Course, Don't Want To Be Guided By Old Back Numbers, But At The Same Time I Know That In My Own Case I Gained A Lot By Studying The Characters Of The Chiefs Under Whom I Served From Time To Time. Lord Wolseley, For Instance, Said: "use Your Common Sense Rather Than Book Instructions."

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.

It Is Risky To Order A Boy Not To Do Something; It Immediately Opens To Him The Adventure Of Doing It.

If You Make Listening And Observation Your Occupation You Will Gain Much More Than You Can By Talk.
