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

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Our fixed mindset builds our cage, fear keeps us in it.

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

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

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

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

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

It is never too late to become what you might have been

It always seems impossible until it's done.
