Deals with the mind of the fortieth US President Ronald Reagan and the writers and thinkers to whom he turned for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope. This title includes Reagan's own writing and his favorite quotations, proverbs, and excerpts from speeches, poetry, and literature.
Collected by the Ronald Reagan Foundation, The Notes is a fascinating window into the mind of our fortieth president. While the #1 New York Times bestselling Reagan Diaries detailed daily life inside the Oval Office, The Notes encapsulates a lifetime of reflections on work, marriage, and family. Classic one-liners such as "Flattery is what makes husbands out of bachelors" and "Money may not buy friends, but it will help you to stay in contact with your children" shed light on the man known as the "Great Communicator," and a sampling of Reagan's favorite speeches, poems, and passages from literature reveal the writers and thinkers he turned to time and again for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope.
Historic, illuminating, and deeply captivating, The Notes is a remarkable collection of the thoughts of one of our most beloved presidents.
"This is a book to return to often and sample the collected wisdom found there that buttressed a remarkable man's vision."
