Right is right, even if no one else does it.

Scouting rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best.

My purpose... to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy, healthy and holy.

To put yourself in another's place requires real imagination, but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.

Ours is a circle of friendships united by ideals.

Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.

We must accept the fact that transport and communications will bring the world in close relations and the youth of the world should have standards and ideals in common.

Once I showed up at my sister's with a baby rabbit I had bought from some children because its ears were cold. I put the rabbit on a hot water bottle and massaged its ears for quite a while. After all, I knew that all healthy animals had warm ears.
