There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

I think, therefore I am.

Skills are built not born.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.
