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

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

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Our fixed mindset builds our cage, fear keeps us in it.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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.

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

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.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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.
