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

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

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.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Skills are built not born.

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent
