The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

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. 

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

Skills are built not born.

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

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

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

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.
