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

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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. 

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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.

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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