Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

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

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

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

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.

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

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.

If you fail, next time fail better.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.
