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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

Dreams don't work unless you do.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

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.
