Ralph Marston More Quotes by Ralph Marston More Quotes From Ralph Marston Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you. Ralph Marston happyhappinessfootball Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged.
