“A boy on joining wants to begin
Scouting right away."
“I thought I wanted to be a
lawyer but I ani’t so sure
now!”
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of
getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in
his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before
you begin but you begin anyway and you see it
through no matter what. You rarely win, but
sometimes you do.

A strange small spasm shook him, as if
he heard fingernails scrape slate, but as I

sudden tears.”

“There are just some kind of men
who—who're so busy worrying
about the next world they've never
learned to live in this one, and you
can look down the street and see the
results.”
"She said she was going to leave this
world beholden to nothing and
nobody. Jem, when you’re sick as she
was, it’s all right to take anything to
make it easier, but it wasn’t all right
for her. She said she meant to break
herself of it before she died, and that’s
what she did."
