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

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

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

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

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

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
