Best Commencement Speeches by Famous Women

"I urge you: Please don't settle for happiness. It's not good enough. Of course, you deserve it, but if that's all you have in mind, happiness, I want to suggest to you that personal success devoid of meaningfulness — free of a steady commitment to social justice — that's more than a barren life; it's a trivial one."

— Toni Morrison at Rutgers University (2011)
