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

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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.

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

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

Everything that happens was once a dream.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

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

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

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

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.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.
