>> ANCHOR: We end tonight with some words of wisdom from people who collectively have
more than 500 years of experience living life. They we're asked to share what they've learned
with the class of 2010.
>> ERIC HOLDER: Over the past 4 years, we've come far. And you all, you all have come far.
But the fact is darkness remains.
>> PRESIDENT OBAMA: Even as we fight the wars in front of us, we also have to see the horizons
beyond these wars because unlike a terrorists whose role is to destroy, our future will
be defined by what we build.
>> GOV. DEVAL PATRICK: We need pragmatic and idealistic innovators today in spite of the
crisis around us and maybe most especially because of it.
>> BOB SCHIEFFER: Don't be afraid to reach. Don't be afraid to stretch. Don't be afraid
to try what you want to do and, you know, you may be surprised at what you can do.
>> GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: You all should go and be hungry for success. You should be
hungry to make your mark, and you should be hungry to be seen and be heard and to have
an effect out there. But as move on and become successful, make sure you also stay hungry.
>> ALEC BALDWIN: I would like for you to consider that when you commit to something or someone
that proves to be unfulfilling by your measure, that is painful. But in my life I have learned
when you do not commit, when you do not risk, you discover you should have, that is even
more consequential.
>> MERYL STREEP: You know you don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother
and father proud of you. And you already have.
>> EMILY HAWLEY: I just want to say, Josh, I love you more than anything, and will you
marry me?
>> KATIE COURIC: Roll down the windows, soak up the sun, and enjoy the ride. And by the
way, don't text and drive.
>> MICHELLE OBAMA: We believe in you so deeply, so you're new challenge begins now.
>> ANCHOR: That is the CBS Evening News for tonight. Katie will be anchoring the broadcast
Monday from the Gulf Coast. I'll be doing the same on the Early Show. I'm Harry Smith.
Thanks for watching. Good night.
