Following the success of Best Graduation Quotes, I am updating the site with a new collection of great grad quotes from recent years’ college and high school commencement speeches. It is interesting to notice how many of them talk about dealing with fear. Hope they inspire you and your loved ones.
Don’t be afraid of fear…Throw caution to the winds, look fear straight-away in its ugly face, and barge forward. And when you get past it, turn around and give it a good swift kick in the ass..

What I’d like to impress upon you is an awareness that this life is yours to fill. What I want you to remember is that nobody will taste it but you, so you should only be looking to fill it with those tasty bites you want to savor.
Don’t be afraid of fear…Throw caution to the winds, look fear straight-away in its ugly face, and barge forward. And when you get past it, turn around and give it a good swift kick in the ass..
