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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

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

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

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

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

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

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.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

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