You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

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

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

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

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

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

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

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 road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.
