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.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

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

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

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

You can have results or excuses, not both
