"Remember why you started, remember where you're..." - Quote by Ralph Marston

“Meaning is found not in the rewards, for they are only tokens. Seek not to have the gold medal. Instead, seek to be the person who can win the gold medal. It is in the quest that you'll find the fulfillment which the reward represents.”

“Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.”

“When you find yourself ready to complain about what you don't have, stop for a moment to consider what incredible things you do have. And resolve to make the most of it all.”

“The passions are the winds which fill the sails of the vessel; they sink it at times, but without them it would be impossible to make way.”

“The fact that I didn't finish school left me with a lifelong need to prove that I'm smart, prove it to myself, maybe to the world. I [also] needed to be - not the center of attention - but I needed to be able to attract attention when I wanted it, through my stunts and my fooling around physically with faces or postures or voices I would do. Those things are important elements in the drive behind all of this [my career].”

“Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.”

“I wasn't the cutest or the most talented, but I could get through the question-and-answer period.”

“The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn't stayed put and all has to be done over again.”

“Never has man reached his destination by persistence in deviation from the straight path.”
