Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

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

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

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

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

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

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

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

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

If you fail, next time fail better.

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

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.
