Quotes

Reagan on Humor

You know, your principal, Mr. Holland, showed me your American history book, and I was startled to see that it took almost 400 pages to tell the story of our nation. When I was your age, it only took two stone tablets. But there are advantages to being President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified top secret.

June 19, 1986

Excerpted from Remarks at the High School Commencement Exercises in Glassboro, New Jersey
