Charles M. Schwab Quotes

Science is inextricably linked to our economy. It has been for the last 50 years and it will be for the next 50 years.

A nation that cannot create jobs cannot survive.

There might be new technology, but technological progress itself was nothing new - and over the years it had not destroyed jobs, but created them.

New technology is the true friend of full employment; the indispensable ally of progress; and the surest guarantee of prosperity.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

The pioneer spirit is still vigorous within this nation. Science offers a largely unexplored hinterland for the pioneer who has the tools for his task. The rewards of such exploration both for the Nation and the individual are great. Scientific progress is one essential key to our security as a nation, to our better health, to more jobs, to higher standard of living, and to our cultural progress.

The history of economic growth is the history of people making more with less and shifting into new jobs that were unheard of in the previous generation.

I'm not happy exporting jobs but we must move ahead in technology and patents. I don't like losing any jobs but we'll see new opportunities created selling products there. We'll have a net increase in economic activity, just as we did with free trade. It's tempting to want to protect our markets and stay closed. But at some point it all comes crashing down and you're hopelessly left behind. Then you are Russia.

Who brings tomorrow into the present if not the scientists, technicians and engineers?

There is, in my judgment, a great future before American manufacturing, commerce and trade, which will absorb millions of additional workers. When these workers are employed at good wages, as at present, they will buy farm products in a liberal way. The proportion of the American people engaged in industrial life doubtless will continue to increase, just as it has been doing.

How do we create jobs for so many Americans who are feeling pushed out, not just left out, pushed out of the modern economy. Obviously it's skills and education. But it's also jobs. So if I could do anything it would be to take this moment in time that we've got when, yes, our recovery is better, we've had steadier growth, I don't think President [Barack] Obama frankly gets the credit he deserves for the kind of steady hand that he and his advisers apply to moving through that really dangerous period.

The way to really create justice for workers in America is to create job growth.

Without science, there would be no such hope.

Disruptive innovations create jobs, efficiency innovations destroy them.

I think it's important to focus on our economy, on jobs, on getting America back to work.

In the long run, the right answer to unemployment is to create more jobs.

Science is the future of mankind.

The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

The future belongs to Science. More and more she will control the destinies of the nations. Already she has them in her crucible and on her balances.

There's no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there's no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.

We know there are a lot of people in the unemployment pool that do not match up in their skill set for what jobs are going to be created, and that's an area we've got to keep pressing on.

Scientists are not these guys in lab coats deep in the inner bowels of universities and hospitals with their Bunsen burners. They're the people molding the culture that we live in, the future of our culture, and the technology we rely on every day.

Jobs are central to the American dream - and President Obama has focused on jobs from day one.

What is innovation if not our ticket to every business interest in the world? It's the ticket to solving the world's problems - the energy problems, the pollution problems, the global warming problems. If it isn't for science and engineering, how will we compete in the new world?

What Apple did for technology is brilliant, but they didn't do nothin' for our economy.
