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

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

I think, therefore I am.

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

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

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

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

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