Before you can write a check, you must first make out a deposit slip before you can draw money out of a bank, you must put money into a bank before you are entitled to a living, you must give the world a life if you want to make a first-class living, learn to give the world a first-class life.

William J. H. Boetcker
If the majority of people of a country, no matter how great its natural resources, organize and conspire to get more out and put less in, to do less and get more, how long will, how long can it last?
William J. H. Boetcker
Never mind what the 'people' think of you! They may overestimate or underestimate you! Until they discover your real worth, your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself. You can succeed if nobody else believes it but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
When men are so busy making money that they have no time for anything else, then the day is not far off when they will have no money for anything else.
William J. H. Boetcker
It is not what people do when they work, but what they do when they don't work that causes all their troubles.
