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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

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

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.
