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

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. 

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

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

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

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

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.
