The difference between getting somewhere and nowhere is the courage to make an early start. The fellow who sits still and does just what he is told will never be told to do big things.

More quotes by Charles M. Schwab
A man to carry on a successful business must have imagination. He must see things in a vision, a dream of the whole thing.
Charles M. Schwab
You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.
Charles M. Schwab
Looking to the future I see in the further acceleration of science continuous jobs for our workers. Science will cure unemployment.
Charles M. Schwab
A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful. But the moment workers are imported, and the striker sees his own place usurped, there is bound to be trouble.
Charles M. Schwab
The first essential in a boy's career is to find out what he's fitted for, what he's most capable of doing and doing with a relish.

The inventor, the man with a unique, specialized talent, is the only real super-genius. But he is so rare that he needs no consideration.
Charles M. Schwab
If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work.

Charles M. Schwab
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
Charles M. Schwab
Work hard. Hard work is the best investment a man can make.
Charles M. Schwab
Every one's got it in him, if he'll only make up his mind and stick at it. None of us is born with a stop-valve on his powers or with a set limit to his capacities, There's no limit possible to the expansion of each one of us.
Charles M. Schwab
It may be in seemingly unimportant things that a man expresses his passion for perfection, yet they will count heavily in the long run.
Charles M. Schwab
The man who attracts attention is the man who is thinking all the time, and expressing himself in little ways. It is not the man who tries to dazzle his employer by doing the theatrical, the spectacular.
Charles M. Schwab
Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead.
Charles M. Schwab
Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.
Charles M. Schwab
A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away.
Charles M. Schwab
Most talk about 'super-geniuses' is nonsense. I have found that when 'stars' drop out, successors are usually at hand to fill their places, and the successors are merely men who have learned by application and self-discipline to get full production from an average, normal brain.
Charles M. Schwab
