The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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. 

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

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

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

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

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

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

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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