Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

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

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

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.

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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

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

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

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

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
