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

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

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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