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. 

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

Dreams don't work unless you do.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

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

MATHS = Mistakes Allow Thinking To Happen

I think, therefore I am.
