Ronald Reagan's "The Notes" is a fascinating window into the mind
of the fortieth U.S. President and the writers and thinkers to whom
he turned for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope. Collected by
the Ronald Reagan Foundation, the book includes both Reagan's own
writing and his favorite quotations, proverbs, and excerpts from
speeches, poetry, and literature. The breadth of these notes sheds
light on a man who was deeply engaged with the arts, culture, and
politics, from his time as one of the nation's most popular actors
to later years as one of its most beloved presidents. Known as the
Great Communicator, Reagan sought wisdom from a wide-ranging set of
political figures, philosophers, novelists, and poets, including
Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, John F. Kennedy, and Thomas
Jefferson, as well as Mohandas Gandhi, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Mark
Twain, and Thomas Wolfe. While the number one "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 in 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. Reagan's
own writing - his jokes, aphorisms, and insights into politics and
life - is often surprising and reveals a view of the president that
has rarely before been seen. Historic, illuminating, and deeply
captivating, "The Notes" is a remarkable collection of the thoughts
of one of a beloved American President.
