Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

Skills are built not born.

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

No matter how bad it gets, you’re still way ahead of those who haven’t even started.

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

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

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

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent
