There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

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

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

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

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