Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

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

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

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

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

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.

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

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

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

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. 

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
