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. 

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.

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

Skills are built not born.

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

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

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

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

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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