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

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

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

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

If you fail, next time fail better.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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

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.

The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.

MATHS = Mistakes Allow Thinking To Happen

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