Ralph Marston Quotes

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

My expectation levels are probably higher than what's achievable. But I have to keep pushing the standards.

Forget your opponents; always play against par.

No manager in the world gets good results all the time and you know there's people always ready to have a snipe. In fact I'm my own biggest critic, I really am.
