More quotes by 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
A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away.
Charles M. Schwab
The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others.
Charles M. Schwab
Good morning! Remember: A person can succeed at almost anything for which they have unlimited enthusiasm.
Charles M. Schwab
Spending creates more wealth for everybody.
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
I disagreed with Carnegie's ideas on how best to distribute his wealth. I spent mine!
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
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
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
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
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
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
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
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
I thought and dreamed of nothing else but the steel works.
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
Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.
Charles M. Schwab
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.
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
