Famous Commencement Speeches

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Steve Jobs
at Stanford University, 2005

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.... Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way.”

J. K. Rowling
at Harvard University, 2008

“We will never close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap. But if all young women start to lean in, we can close the ambition gap right here, right now, if every single one of you leans in. Leadership belongs to those who take it.”

Sheryl Sandberg
at Barnard College, 2011
