The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

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. 

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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

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

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

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

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