The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

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

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

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

Skills are built not born.

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.
