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

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.
