Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

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

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.

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

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

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. 

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).
