La devise de Baden-Powell, «Sois prêt» ou «Be Prepared», qui correspond à ses initiales et qui signifie «sois toujours prêt mentalement et physiquement à faire ton devoir» a été celle de cet éminent sénateur que j'ai toujours été si fier de pouvoir qualifier de véritable ami durant toutes ces années.
In many ways, the motto of " Be Prepared," which Baden-Powell himself noted was founded on his own initials and means that " you are always to be in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty," has been a hallmark of this distinguished senator whom I have always been so proud for so many years to call a true friend.
