"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."
"That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."
William Wordsworth on Sympathy"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength."
Corrie Ten Boom on Sympathy"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like."
Saint Augustine on Sympathy"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Khalil Gibran on Sympathy"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions."
William Shakespeare on Sympathy"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."
