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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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. 

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

You can have results or excuses, not both

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

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

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

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

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