Ronald Reagan.s The Notes is a fascinating window into the mind of our
fortieth 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.
