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

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

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

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

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.
