100+ Short Graduation Day Quotes For Students

It feels like yesterday when you dressed them up in their Oompa Loompa-sized uniforms and led them to their first class.

The tears and their incessant crying broke your hearts.

Their unwillingness to let go of your hands is still etched in your hearts and will forever remain etched.

But with every day, the letting go became a bit easier for both of you.

The first alphabet they wrote down to the first numbers they memorized, it all seems like nostalgia.

They are all grown up now, talking in their language, filling in the gaps, they’ve learnt it all.

Now it is time for them to graduate to a next higher level with bigger dreams.

We tried to bottle up the very essence of the feelings and shaped them into words.

Thus we bring to you a collection of 200 quotes suitable for every student, teacher and parent.
