Charles M. Schwab

Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.

Men make opportunity. Every great industrial achievement has been the result of individual effort - the practical development of a dream in the mind of an individual.

A man who trims himself to suit everybody will soon whittle himself away.

What makes knowledge automatic is what gets you to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice.

I don't believe it's productive to go around and badmouth anyone that I work with, because at the end of the day, we all have to sit in front of each other and agree or disagree.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
