Graduation Quotes

Just after graduation in 1966, like many of my contemporaries, I applied for research training at the National Institutes of Health. Perhaps because his wife was a poet, Ira Pastan agreed to take me into his laboratory, despite my lack of scientific credentials Picture Quote #1

I went to a public high school, and after graduation, college wasn’t really much of an option for me. I didn’t believe I had the money or the grades at the time, so I continued to work and save money to support my acting career Picture Quote #1

After graduation in June of 1984, I moved to Manhattan. My first stop was a psychiatrist, who in less than our first fifty-minute session again diagnosed me with depression Picture Quote #1

The day after my high school graduation in 1952, I headed to Alaska. I was 17. I started out greasing equipment, then became a heavy-crane operator. I made and saved good money there for two years Picture Quote #1

I applied to only one college - the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania - and was fortunate to be accepted. After graduation, I headed to Wall Street and worked as I had dreamed Picture Quote #1

After graduation, I wanted to work for ‘Sassy’, which I loved, but it had folded. So I wound up at ‘Seventeen’ for three years on staff and two as a contributor, and I wrote these great stories that nobody ever believes ‘Seventeen’ does. Serious stories for teens about social justice issues - gun control, migrant farm workers Picture Quote #1

I never make the same mistake twice. I make it five or six times, just to be sure

The darkest nights produce the brightest stars

I have the cliche ‘struggling actor’ story. I was waiting tables in New York, went out to L.A. soon after graduation to get some jobs, but it didn’t work out. I wanted to cut my teeth in professional theater, so I came back to New York. It made my journey a longer one, but I really wanted to excel in the theater Picture Quote #1

Graduation day was a milestone in the most important journey of all - to the centre of oneself Picture Quote #1

I attended an evangelical Christian university on the outskirts of suburban Los Angeles and by the time of my graduation was neither evangelical nor Christian Picture Quote #1

My mother was keen that I complete my graduation and never ever wanted me to be in the movies, as my father had made five films that lost money. One of the films he made was ‘Agneepath,’ which was hugely hyped but underwhelming at the box office, and I remember that my dad had to sell my grandmother’s flat to pay off the loan Picture Quote #1

I disagree with a lot of those changes, however at the end of the day - I go down to recruit graduation at least once or twice a year Picture Quote #1

I’ve told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation Picture Quote #1

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Money may not buy happiness, but it's better to cry in a Lamborghini

Americans in particular are myopic. They’re not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That’s what I did. I went to Indonesia Picture Quote #1

The mission of Patrick Henry College was to attract and cultivate academic stars from the ranks of home-schooled evangelicals, then send them off on graduation day to ‘shape the culture and take back the nation,’ in the words of a common home-schooling rallying cry Picture Quote #1

I grew up very differently than a lot of other people in my hometown in Mississippi. But I can’t imagine my life any other way. I flew home and surprised my best friend at his graduation, and I remember turning to my mom and saying, ‘My graduation was so much cooler than this.’ I had Melissa Joan Hart give my commencement speech Picture Quote #1

My daughter finished high school the same month I got my master’s degree. I’m glad I didn’t know when I gave birth to her at 21 what it would cost in terms of time, money and sacrifice to bring her to that graduation day Picture Quote #1

Following graduation from high school in 1948, I attended Harvard University where I became a physics major. Having grown up in a small town, I found Harvard to be an enormously enriching experience. Students in my class came from all walks of life and from a great variety of geographical locations Picture Quote #1

While I do commend the Administration on its commitment and focus on high school reform, I believe that we must focus on graduation as the key accountability measure Picture Quote #1

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is

A year from now you'll wish you started today

There is a good reason they call these ceremonies ‘commencement exercises’. Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning Picture Quote #1

I pretty much bailed on high school. I mean, I graduated, but I wasn’t even there for my own graduation Picture Quote #1

What I like about graduation speeches is that they’re an opportunity for someone to make sense of their life and to impart that wisdom to someone else. It’s like a sanctioned self-help moment Picture Quote #1

Like a christening, a wedding, a graduation ceremony, a holy war, a revolutioneven?a fireworksdisplay, agaudy promise of what life ought to be, not life itself Picture Quote #1

I love graduation speeches. I have always loved them; I will always love them Picture Quote #1

No graduation speaker will ever tell you that the future is anything but uncertain. It never is. But graduations need not only be obsessed with looking ahead; a graduation can be a day on which we turn back and trace our steps to see how we ended up where we are Picture Quote #1

Dogs teach us a lot of things but none more important than to love unconditionally

A true friend is someone who accepts your past, supports your present and encourages your future

I’ll co-host ‘TODAY’ from Los Angeles Saturday morning and then make my way up to Merced for that evening’s graduation ceremony. I’m still touching up my remarks, but my challenge to the Class of 2010 will be to break through the deafening and too often negative echo chamber of the digital era and become critical and independent thinkers Picture Quote #1

I’m not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you’ll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain’t going to happen Picture Quote #1

One of the most difficult speeches to prepare is an address to a graduation class, which is why I don’t often do them Picture Quote #1
