If you're ninety-five percent of the way to outstanding success, doesn't it make sense to go the additional five percent of the way? ... A marathon which takes hours to run, can be won or lost by a matter of seconds.

More quotes by Ralph Marston
Be appreciative of what's right with your life. In your gratitude is power to make it even better
Ralph Marston
If you so choose, each day can be filled with even more joy than the one before. If you so choose, even the most seemingly random events can work in your favor.
Ralph Marston
What a joy it is that the road ahead is an uphill climb. For where it leads is all the way to the top.
Ralph Marston
Your life is constantly nourished by your thoughts. Whatever the direction your life is moving, your thoughts have led you there.
Ralph Marston
Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
Ralph Marston
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Ralph Marston
Remember why you started, remember where you're headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.
Ralph Marston
Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events.
Ralph Marston
Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.
Ralph Marston
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Ralph Marston
Those who are passionate about what they do have an advantage that is nearly impossible to overcome. In passion there is energy, creativity, resilience and persistence. Passion will get it done.
Ralph Marston
When you do the right thing, enjoy it! When you take positive actions, enjoy them. After all, they are leading you toward positive results. Pat yourself on the back. Truly enjoy the fact that you're making positive progress, and the negative temptations will have no power over you.
Ralph Marston
Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.
Ralph Marston
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it. The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love. The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.
Ralph Marston
There is most certainly a purpose you are yearning to fulfill. Find it, know it, follow it, and you can change the world.
Ralph Marston
When you think you know it all, there's not much that you'll learn.
Ralph Marston
Carrying a grudge is difficult work that brings nothing of value. Forgive, and be free.
Ralph Marston
Stopping before you reach the goal does not make the discouragement go away. All it does is make the discouragement permanent. Instead, keep going, keep making the attempt, until you make that last, fulfilling attempt that brings the success you desire.
Ralph Marston
Those who win big do it by creating other winners.
Ralph Marston
Almost everyone does just enough to get by. Those who achieve spectacular success also do enough to get by then they add a little bit of extra effort. That little bit of extra effort makes an enormous difference.
Ralph Marston
