More quotes by Charles M. Schwab
If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work.
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
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 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
Young men may enjoy dropping their work at five or six o'clock and slipping into a dress suit for an evening of pleasure but the habit has certain drawbacks.
Charles M. Schwab
Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.
Charles M. Schwab

Charles M. Schwab
One of the most successful men I have known never carried a watch until he began to earn ten thousand dollars a year.
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
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
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
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.
Charles M. Schwab
Work hard. Hard work is the best investment a man can make.
Charles M. Schwab
When a man has put a limit on what he will do, he has put a limit on what he can do.
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
A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away.
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
Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.
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
Spending creates more wealth for everybody.
Charles M. Schwab
