More quotes by 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 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
Spending creates more wealth for everybody.
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
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 real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others.
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
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
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
I disagreed with Carnegie's ideas on how best to distribute his wealth. I spent mine!
Charles M. Schwab
I thought and dreamed of nothing else but the steel works.
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
Looking to the future I see in the further acceleration of science continuous jobs for our workers. Science will cure unemployment.
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
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband, while a man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
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
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
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
