Summary

This quote suggests a sense of skepticism towards organizations, particularly the Boy Scouts, that have set guidelines and rules in the form of a handbook. The speaker possibly harbors a lack of trust towards such organizations, contemplating whether rigidly defined guidelines could restrict individuality or impose a certain ideology. It implies a preference for freedom and autonomy rather than adhering to predetermined standards set by an organization.

When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.

Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.
