More quotes by William J. H. Boetcker
A man without religion or spiritual vision is like a captain who finds himself in the midst of an uncharted sea, without compass, rudder and steering wheel. He never knows where he is, which way he is going and where he is going to land.
William J. H. Boetcker
True religion... is giving and finding one's happiness by bringing happiness into the lives of others.

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
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
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
William J. H. Boetcker
The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.
William J. H. Boetcker
For the self-development of men and women it is absolutely necessary that they should be alone with themselves at least one hour each day-to get the blessings of solitude.
William J. H. Boetcker
Men will get no more out of life than they put into it.
William J. H. Boetcker
It is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right.
William J. H. Boetcker
Most men believe that it would benefit them if they could get a little from those who have more. How much more would it benefit them if they would learn a little from those who know more.
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
You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.
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
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
No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.
William J. H. Boetcker
The more men, generally speaking, will do for a Dollar when they make it, the more that Dollar will do for them when they spend it.
William J. H. Boetcker
If you wish to succeed in managing and controlling others - learn to manage and control yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
Many modern (so-called) Reformers are just as dangerous as the physician who makes a wrong diagnosis of a disease. They see the trouble from without and prescribe external remedies, while the cause of the trouble is within and needs internal treatment.
William J. H. Boetcker
Are you appalled at existing conditions? Don't waste your energy trying to change conditions from without! Change the Human Heart from within.
William J. H. Boetcker
Nations begin to dig their own graves when men talk more of human rights and less of human duties.
William J. H. Boetcker
