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. 

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

You can have results or excuses, not both

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

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

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

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

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