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

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

Everything that happens was once a dream.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

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

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

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. 

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time.
