More quotes by 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
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
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

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
Work hard. Hard work is the best investment a man can make.
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
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business the trailer seldom goes far.
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
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
