There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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

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. 

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Skills are built not born.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.
