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

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

I think, therefore I am.

"I" not them. Be the best version of you.

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.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

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

You can have results or excuses, not both

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the success.

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

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