A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Skills are built not born.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.
