Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

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

Skills are built not born.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

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

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.
