“ideas are more powerful than guns.we should not let our enemies have guns,we should let them have ideas”

“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?”

“We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?”

“If you want to defeat a country, defeat it with your ideas! If you want to defeat your enemies, defeat them with your ideas! Let your only sword and gun be your sharp and powerful ideas!”

“A pioneer should have imagination, should be able to enjoy the idea of things more than the things themselves.”

“Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.”
