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.

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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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

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

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today
