Graduation Quotes: Good Graduation Sayings

Graduation is the time to be happy, to look forward to fresh opportunities. To let the past melt away into the horizon and await the new things life has in store. It is a time of celebration for the whole family, friends and neighbors. For the graduate, it is the beginning of many things to come, the stage where the foundation for the whole life is laid.

Graduation marks the beginning of a totally new phase of a person's life. Here are some graduation sayings and quotes to take inspiration from:
