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.

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.

If you want to know how rich you really are, find out what would be left of you tomorrow if you should lose every dollar you own tonight.

True religion... is giving and finding one's happiness by bringing happiness into the lives of others.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.

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.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

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.

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.

The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow.

You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

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.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

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.

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

Your greatness is measured by your kindness.

Think in the name of Almighty God. We must first have a worldwide awakening of the public conscience, a spiritual revival, a moral regeneration, before there can be permanent peace and real economic recovery. To this end we do not need new laws, but a new spirit; we do not need a change of government, but a change of the human heart. There can be no peace, there will be no recovery without it. Therefore, with a change of heart, let's all make a new start.

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.

When away from home always be like the kind of man you would care to take into your own home.
