1. 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.
2. The man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after.
3. A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
4. Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues.
5. There is no need to reach high for the stars. They are already within you - just reach deep into yourself!
6. The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
7. 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.

Not sure about a quote, but an awesome song to play at a graduation is "Friends Forever" by Vitamin C.
I definitely recommend it, I've always liked the song. Just go on yahoo or google and type "friends forever by vitamin c lyrics" and you should find a site that will give them to you if you want to check them out.

Getting an education is a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you have the urge to pass it on.
