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

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

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

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

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

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

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

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

99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

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