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

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

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

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

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

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

If you fail, next time fail better.
