It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success.

Never go to your high school reunion pregnant or they will think that is all you have done since you graduated.

Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree: you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say this we know.

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.

I learned law so well, the day I graduated I sued the college, won the case, and got my tuition back.

It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another, his education is incomplete.

For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences.

Life is the most exciting opportunity we have. But we have one shot. You graduate from college once, and that's it. You're going out of that nest. And you have to find that courage that's deep, deep, deep in there. Every step of the way.
