One of the things my father taught me was you should not exclude those who are opposed to your ideas.

My determination is not to remain stubbornly with my ideas, but I'll leave them and go over to others as soon as I am shown plausible reasons which I can grasp.

Let us agree here today to adopt among ourselves a simple and unwritten rule. We will not rise to criticize someone else's idea unless we are prepared to offer an alternative idea of our own.

What I say is I am somebody who cares about conservative ideas. I want to see them implemented in governance.

Being against other people's policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It's fine to be principled and oppose views that you don't agree with, but you also have to have an alternative.

I'm not in power, but my ideas are in power. And my ideas will prevail.

If all ideas have to be bought, then you have an intellectually regressive system that will assure you have a highly knowledgeable elite and an ignorant mass.

An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.

I don't believe in other people's ideas. I have my own ideas.
