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

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

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. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

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

Skills are built not born.

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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. 

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

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

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