New York, NY…American steel magnate Charles Michael Schwab, February 18, 1862 – September 18, 1939.

“A man will succeed in anything about which he has real enthusiasm, in which he is genuinely interested, provided that he will take more thought about his job than the men working with him. The fellow who sits still and does what he is told will never be told to do big things.”

“I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.”

“There is no royal road to a successful life, as there is no royal road to learning. It has got to be hard knocks, morning, noon, and night, and fixity of purpose.”

“When a man has put a limit on what he will do, he has put a limit on what he can do.”

“There’s no limit possible to the expansion of each one of us.”

“The man who has done his best has done everything.”
