The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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. 

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

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

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

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

Skills are built not born.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.
