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

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

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

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
