Graduation Quotes

Is someone in your family graduating? These graduation quotes will serve as words of advice, reminders and loving encouragement as the graduate leaves school and embarks on his new phase of life.

There is so much excitement and hope surrounding a new graduate, but that doesn't mean we always have the right words to express our best wishes for the graduate. That happened to me before.

When my cousin Dawn graduated from university, I wanted to give her some words of encouragement and inspiration. I couldn't find the appropriate words, so I dug out quotes that I believed would serve her well in her new journey ahead.

Quotes are timeless, they express loads of wisdom much better than I could have ever said or wished I've said them.

Whether you scrapbook, make cards, or just want to use these graduation quotes for someone you care about, you'll find a few gems to share with your graduate on this page!

Enjoy these graduation quotes!

During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved.
