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

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

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

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

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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. 

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.
