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

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

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

Skills are built not born.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

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

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt.
