“Times and challenges change, yet the values of Scouting will never change. Scouts of any era would recognize every word that you live by today, because those words have always defined Scouting. The goodness of a person and of the society he or she lives in often comes down to very simple things, and the words found in the Scout Law. Every society depends on trust and loyalty, on courtesy and kindness, on bravery and reverence. These are the values of Scouting, and these are the values of America.”
-George W. Bush, 2001

“What afflicts us is a corruption of the heart, a turning away in the soul. And only when we turn toward the right things – toward enduring, noble, spiritual things – will things get better. Even if we have full employment and greater economic growth, if we have cities of gold and alabaster, but our children have not learned how to walk in goodness, justice, and mercy, then the American experiment, no matter how gilded, will have failed.”
-William J. Bennett, former secretary of education and author

“And, sir, when we think of eternity, and of the future consequences of all human conduct, what is there in this life that should make any man contradict the dictates of his conscience, the principles of justice, the laws of religion, and of God?”
-William Wilberforce, MP, God’s Politician
