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. 

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.

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

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

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

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

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

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

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

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

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

If you fail, next time fail better.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been
