In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours.

My happiest days are those in which I do good work.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whisky.

Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.

It vexes me greatly that having to earn my living has forced me to interrupt the work and to attend to small matters.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
