There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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 are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

You can have results or excuses, not both

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

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