The president of the United States is a pretty important position, and it’s the ideas and policies that matter to me, not the color of their skin. – Rush Limbaugh

I see a bright future for Florida and for America, and my campaign will be about the ideas and principles that will help us achieve a more perfect union. – Ron DeSantis
I do think that I’m a big believer in having an idea or having ideas and just tucking them away in the back of your brain. Even if you aren’t consciously thinking of them, I think they simmer. You’re working on them, even if you don’t know you’re working on them, and I think having something in your head for a while is a valuable thing. – Rian Johnson
Sometimes people’s spiritual ideas become fixed and they use them against those who don’t share their beliefs – in effect, becoming fundamentalist. It’s very dangerous – the finger of righteous indignation pointing at someone who is identified as bad or wrong. – Pema Chodron
The most important political task facing the out-of-power party – the Democrats for now – is creating a villain to run against. It’s certainly easier than developing some grand new ideas or policies on which to campaign. – Pat Sajak
There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas. – Paul Kagame

People underestimate the impact they can have on the process through contact with legislators. By being part of an organized group in an area that you have an interest in, you can multiply the impact of your own ideas. – Ralph Regula
