More quotes by William J. H. Boetcker
Men will get no more out of life than they put into it.
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
True religion... is giving and finding one's happiness by bringing happiness into the lives of others.
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
Nations begin to dig their own graves when men talk more of human rights and less of human duties.
William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot help the small men, by tearing down the big men.
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
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
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
No man can make good during working hours who does the wrong thing outside of working hours.
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
It is not what people do when they work, but what they do when they don't work that causes all their troubles.
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
You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
Never mind what others do do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.
William J. H. Boetcker
Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
Men must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. A man who is not honest with himself presents a hopeless case.
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
It is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right.
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
