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

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

No matter how bad it gets, you’re still way ahead of those who haven’t even started.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

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

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
