My best friend just graduated from university and I want to give him a pen with a quotation or phrase engraved that will not only inspire him in this next stage in life but also that shows how much I love him.
I've been searching the net for days and still haven't found a good one, so I remember to ask you :)
Can you help me find the perfect phrase to engrave on the pen?
Thanks ;)

I always liked "shoot for the mood, because even if you miss you'll fall among the stars"
Or a good graduation one is, "dont cry because it's over; smile because it happened"
then again that was like middle school when i used that one.
those might be a bit long for a pen though...
maybe just something simple like "follow your dreams"
good luck!
