In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

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

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

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

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

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

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

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