Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

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.

You can have results or excuses, not both

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.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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

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. 

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

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

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.
