William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
William J. H. Boetcker
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
A man is judged by the company he keeps, and a company is judged by the men it keeps, and the people of Democratic nations are judged by the type and caliber of officers they elect.
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
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
William J. H. Boetcker
Confidence is the foundation for all business relations. The degree of confidence a man has in others, and the degree of confidence others have in him, determines a man's standing in the commercial and industrial world.
William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending
William J. H. Boetcker
True religion is not a mere doctrine, something that can be taught, but is a way of life. A life in community with God. It must be experienced to be appreciated. A life of service. A living by giving and finding one's own happiness by bringing happiness into the lives of others.
William J. H. Boetcker
No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.
William J. H. Boetcker
Every so often we hear people clamor for a change. Let's change the Constitution, change the form of Government, change everything for better or worse except to change the only thing that needs changing first: The human heart and our standard of success and human values.
William J. H. Boetcker
No man can make good during working hours who does the wrong thing outside of working hours.
William J. H. Boetcker
If your business keeps you so busy that you have no time for anything else, there must be something wrong either with you or with your business.
William J. H. Boetcker
The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain about the stupidity of his helpers, the ingratitude of mankind nor the inappreciation of the public. These are all a part of the great game of life. To meet them and overcome them and not to go down before them in disgust, discouragement or defeat-that is the final proof of power
William J. H. Boetcker
What a different world this would be if people would listen to those who know more and not merely try to get something from those who have more.
William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.
William J. H. Boetcker
Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.
William J. H. Boetcker
Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
