I grew up in an era when money was not readily available. We were into the post-Depression years and World War II.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I did all kinds of things as ...

I did all kinds of things as a young person to try to make money. I had a chicken operation - I sold chickens. I can remember going to high school football games as a ten-year-old and gathering Coca-Cola bottles, 'cause you'd turn them in and get a nickel. I wanted not to remain idle.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I bought all the books, but I...

I bought all the books, but I probably knew on the first day that law school wasn't for me. I didn't give up until about ten days. I don't think I really told my father. I really didn't like my father knowing my things were not successful.

Just because a stock is down doesn't mean it's a great buy.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

If there's not enough money in the bank account, you don't spend it.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

We couldn't buy Google on the IPO, but I knew I wanted to own it. I was gonna go big. It came out and went down a bit. I got distracted by something and didn't get in.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I remember very vividly - I w...

I remember very vividly - I wrote about it in one of my books - my first IRA. I contributed $2,000 every year, and in 21 years, the funds in that IRA account grew to $260,000. Seems like sort of a miracle, but it happened.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

Sometimes my mistake has been...

Sometimes my mistake has been hesitancy about acting on the decisions I've made. When's the best time to invest? It's today, not tomorrow.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I use the word 'passion' a lot when I talk to young people. In every pursuit I've been on, I've had a lot of passion behind it. It continues to motivate me every day on what I like to do and where I'm going.

You want banks to take some risk, but intelligent risk.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

For as little as a thousand dollars, you can open an account at Schwab. I mean, it's not a big barrier to entry.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

You've got to take the road you need to take, and only you can make that calculation. Not your dad, not your friend. You have to take it if you feel it instinctively.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I frankly think we in the fin...

I frankly think we in the financial service world believe we need appropriate kinds of regulations. No question about that. But when something like Dodd-Frank has been created, sort of in the mystery of night, it is a huge document. It's vast. It weighs about 10 pounds when I carry it around.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

When I was 14, I did all kind...

When I was 14, I did all kinds of different odd jobs. I had a chicken farm, had an ice cream operation in the summertime, worked as a caddy; all things to make money and save money. Save money in order to invest - that was the first step, though I never really accumulated very much because of other demands like bicycles and things like that.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I was about thirteen when I started thinking about the stock market. My dad helped me a little bit. I'd see it in the 'Santa Barbara News-Press.' These prices would change every day - what was that all about?

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

On the personal side, family is really important to me. I have a big family - five kids and 12 grandkids - so keeping that going is wonderful. And I do a lot of philanthropy. I'm chairman of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I remember, my first bicycle ...

I remember, my first bicycle was very much a used bike. I wasn't going to Wal-Mart, buying a flashy 10-speed bike from China. Are you kidding me?

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

You've always got to think about having some fixed income in your portfolio as well as equities.

Charles Schwab 84 quotes

There was a guy by the name of Charles Schwab: actually, Charles M. Schwab. I read a lot about him, and I always hoped I was related, but I wasn't. He was a steel magnate. He worked for J.P. Morgan; then he started Bethlehem Steel. But he had no children, unfortunately, and it turned out I wasn't a relative.
