Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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