This is Reagan in a nutshell, offering hundreds of his best quotes on a variety of subjects. Many are statements of profound insight, others proclamations of simple truths. What they all have in common is a veritable lack of gray area in expressing his beliefs; he saw issues in black and white, and what he said came through as clear as a bell, agree or disagree. Reagan's two-term presidency in the eighties placed him at the cusp of a new oxymoronic phenomenon known as political correctness, but, in Reagan's world, political correctness was having the boldness of character to say what you believe is right even while surrounded by detractors.
