They could be saved if only the right surroundings or environment were given to them at the receptive time of their lives. Robert Baden-Powell boycharacterlesscountry share on social
Life would pall if it were all sugar; salt is bitter if taken by itself; but when tasted as part of the dish, it savours the meat. Difficulties are the salt of life. Robert Baden-Powell bitterdifficultydish Change image and share on social
