There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

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

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

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

Patience is when you’re supposed to get mad, but you choose to understand

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

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

Everything that happens was once a dream.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.
