If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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. 

Success is a journey, not a destination.

I think, therefore I am.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
