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

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

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

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

If you fail, next time fail better.

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

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.
