Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day. 

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

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

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.
