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

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. 

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

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

Don’t hang your targets after you’re done shooting.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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