Reagan on America

“An education is like a spaceship; it can take you anywhere.”

January 15, 1986

“When you get a good education, when you study hard and read your books and ask questions, then you can become anything. The outstanding men and women up here on the stage with me will all tell you that if you work hard you can make a wonderful future for yourself, you can have the most exciting job, travel all over the world, help your fellow man. An education is like a spaceship; it can take you anywhere.”

— Remarks to the Students and Faculty at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School
