You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.
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
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
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
A man who tries to make the workmen believe that their employers are their natural enemies is indeed the worst enemy of workmen. For the employees of yesterday are the employers of today, and the employees of today can and will partly be the employers of tomorrow.
William J. H. Boetcker
Seven national crimes: 1. I don't think. 2. I don't know. 3. I don't care. 4. I am too busy. 5. I leave well enough alone. 6. I have no time to read and find out. 7. I am not interested.
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
Men will get no more out of life than they put into it.
William J. H. Boetcker
Your greatness is measured by your kindness.
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
Nations begin to dig their own graves when men talk more of human rights and less of human duties.
William J. H. Boetcker
When away from home always be like the kind of man you would care to take into your own home.
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
No man can make good during working hours who does the wrong thing outside of working hours.
William J. H. Boetcker
Beware of ignorance when in motion look out for inexperience when in action, and beware of the majority when mentally poisoned with misinformation, for collective ignorance does not become wisdom.
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
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
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
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
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.
