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. 

Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

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

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

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

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

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

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

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

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

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

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

I think, therefore I am.

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

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.
