I need a good quote to put on my graduation open house invitations but I can't find anything that doesn't sound too corny. Anyone have any suggestions?

**Edit** I've looked at 10+ quotation sites and didn't find anything I liked. I'm asking for something that maybe isn't so conventional but good nonetheless.

I can imagine a world without war, a world without hate, and I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Think of something yourself and make it original. Do you really want to do like everyone else and just find a quote online?

Mine was serious. Here's a couple more..

No matter how heinous a deed you contemplate, the operative question is not Is It Evil, but Is It Possible?
There is a difference between refusing a helping hand and dismembering it. I would never refuse one.

open your eyes. try to see the world from someone else's perspective. even if it scares you. even if you are certain you have all the answers. you don't. I don't. no one does.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Albert Einstein

In the arena of human life the honours and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities.
Aristotle

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
-- Robert L. Stevenson


A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
Thomas Carruthers

A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students.
John Ciardi

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Watch the stars, and from them learn. To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Einstein, good guy :)
