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

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

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

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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. 

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.
