You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

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

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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. 

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

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

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

If you fail, next time fail better.

Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
