Page 2: OUR GRADUATES grad edition.pdf · 6/1/2017  · 2 June 1, 2017 2017 Salute to Graduates “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.”

June 1, 2017 2017 Salute to Graduates2

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.” - Ralph

Waldo Emerson • “We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.” - JK Rowling •

“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.” -

Ralph Waldo Emerson • “The fireworks begin today. Each diploma is a lighted match. Each one

of you is a fuse.” - Ed Koch • “All our dreams can come true...if we have the

courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney • “Just don’t give up trying

to do what you really want to do.” - Ella Fitzgerald • Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. – Les Brown • “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones

you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your

sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain • “You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.” Mahatma Ghandi •

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s

problems at once, but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has

shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.” - Michelle Obama

• "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt • To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and

day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight;

and never stop fighting. – e.e. cummings • There is a good reason they call these ceremonies “commencement exercises.” Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning. – Orrin Hatch • Always be a fi rst-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-

rate version of somebody else. – Judy Garland • The important thing is not

to stop questioning. – Albert Einstein • And now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. - Neil Gaiman • “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also

dream, not only plan, but also believe.” —Anatole France

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own.

And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

– Dr. Seuss
