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

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

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Dreams don't work unless you do.

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

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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.

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.
