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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

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

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

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

Patience is when you’re supposed to get mad, but you choose to understand

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

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.
