No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.
