The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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.

Skills are built not born.

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. 

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

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

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

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

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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.
