Tough times never last, but tough people do.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

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

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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

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

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. 

I think, therefore I am.
