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. 

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

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