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

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

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.

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

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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

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

It always seems impossible until it's done.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.
