Graduation Thank You Sayings

#1. I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees

Emiliano Zapata

#2. I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: 'Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree.' I want to thank Harvard for this honor. I'll be changing my job next year and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume!

Bill Gates

#3. I emphasize that virtually every engineering calculation is ultimately a failure calculation, because without a failure criterion against which to measure the calculated result, it is a meaningless number.

Henry Petroski

#4. Whatever their motivations, lawmakers on both side of the aisle have certainly discovered that immigration is one of those issues that resonate strongly with the public.

Gwen Ifill

#5. I like that it's a mystery -- that the universe always knows something we won't.

Claudia Gray

#6. A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

Lee Pace

#7. I thank God for a gracious completion of my doctorate degree.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
and to pretend

Kurt Cobain
