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

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

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