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
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
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
We will never have real safety and security for wage earners unless we provide for safety and security for the wage payers and wage savers.
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
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
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
The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.

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
Are you appalled at existing conditions? Don't waste your energy trying to change conditions from without! Change the Human Heart from within.
