The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

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

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

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

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

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. 

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

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

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

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.
