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

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. 

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

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

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

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

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

No matter how bad it gets, you’re still way ahead of those who haven’t even started.
