More quotes by 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
Your greatness is measured by your kindness.
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
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
What the carburetor, sparkplug and self-starter are to an automobile, initiative, private enterprise and executive ability are to industry as a whole, including the wage earner, wage payer, wage spender and wage saver, i.e., the investor. If the sparkplug and self-starter get out of commission, the car will come to a standstill.
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
Freedom of press and freedom of speech: What a blessing for a country while in the hands of honest, patriotic men what a curse if in the hands of designing demagogues.
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
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
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.
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
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
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 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
Never mind what the 'people' think of you! They may overestimate or underestimate you! Until they discover your real worth, your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself. You can succeed if nobody else believes it but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
If you wish to succeed in managing and controlling others - learn to manage and control yourself.
William J. H. Boetcker
Men will get no more out of life than they put into it.
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
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
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
