You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

Skills are built not born.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

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

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

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

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