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
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
There is not a man in power at our Bethlehem steel works today who did not begin at the bottom and work his way up.
Charles M. Schwab
What we must seek is a plan by which the men will receive high wages when the employers are receiving high prices for the product.
Charles M. Schwab
The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others.
Charles M. Schwab
Work hard. Hard work is the best investment a man can make.
Charles M. Schwab
The man who has done his best has done everything. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing.
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
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business the trailer seldom goes far.
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
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
Charles M. Schwab
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
I thought and dreamed of nothing else but the steel works.
Charles M. Schwab
In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world, I have yet to find the man, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.
Charles M. Schwab
Many of us think of salespeople as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesman, every day of our lives.
Charles M. Schwab
You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.
Charles M. Schwab
All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.
Charles M. Schwab
I disagreed with Carnegie's ideas on how best to distribute his wealth. I spent mine!
Charles M. Schwab
Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.
