The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Skills are built not born.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

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. 

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

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

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

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

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

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