There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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