Above all, spend time in places where people disagree with you. Reach out. Show up and make your argument. People will appreciate it, even if they are not inclined to vote for you.
God calls all of his children to the table. We can disagree and even say a lot of hateful things, but what we can’t do in good conscience is leave the table. Or demand that someone else not be at the table.
Jim Sheridan, the MP who wants to ban sketchwriters from the Commons for being rude about politicians, is a blithering idiot. Sorry, scrub that – clearly a very thoughtful person with whom I might conceivably disagree on some marginal issues. A blithering savant, perhaps.
I can understand that people who have a very different view to mine are motivated by the purest of motives. All I ask is that they might give the same benefit of the doubt to those with whom they might disagree with.
I reject the idea that when young women make choices with which we disagree, they are acting without autonomy.
Michael Savage turns on a microphone and broadcasts his opinions to faithful followers who enjoy listening to his views on politics, social issues, and anything else that this colorful, provocative, entertaining guy comes up with. It doesn’t matter which of his views I agree or disagree with.
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?

When you become a citizen, you are an American and questioning somebody’s Americanness because they disagree with you – is about one of the most un-American things I can think of.
Freedom of speech and thought matters, especially when it is speech and thought with which we disagree. The moment the majority decides to destroy people for engaging in thought it dislikes, thought crime becomes a reality.
I try to write 1,000 words. Some people say it’s not about the quantity but about the quality. I disagree. You need to write a lot in order to figure out what’s good and what’s crap.
I had one guy say, ‘I watched your show and didn’t agree with what you said.’ And I’m like, ‘It’s a joke. How could you not agree? I can understand you saying it’s not funny.’ But it’s like my going onstage and doing a knock-knock and somebody going, ‘I disagree. There’s no door here.’
I disagree with the concept that somehow or another we’re going to pack up 10, to 12, to 15 million people and ship them back to the country of origin. That’s not going to happen.

I think that you can disagree with people and debate over their positions with issues without engaging in the politics of personal destruction.
You’ve heard the phrase ‘There are no small roles, just small actors?’ Well, I kind of disagree. There are small roles, but when you get a lot of them in a row, you can become a pretty successful actress, and that’s what I’ve done.
Two sides to a story exist when evidence exists on both sides of a position. Then, reasonable people may disagree about how to weigh that evidence and what conclusion to form from it. Everyone, of course, is entitled to their own opinion.

People are so quick to say someone is a fantastic player and deserves to win the Ballon d’Or after just one good year. I disagree with that.
I like somebody who makes me laugh. He’s also got to be prepared – I’m sort of a loose cannon, in a good way. I also like people who disagree with me and make me work to prove my point.
Just because you are friends doesn’t mean you like the same kind of men, want to live in the same type of house, and both want your steak cooked the same way! I often disagree with my friends, however I make every effort to be sensitive to their feelings and be supportive.
There’s an old actor’s saying about how you don’t work with children or animals. I disagree with both of them. Some of the best times I’ve ever had were working with kids because there’s an honesty to them.
I have a lot of respect for President Obama, and while I deeply disagree with some of his actions or lack of action on issues I care about, I still recognize the significance of the first black presidency and the challenges that come with that.
I think that some people still think that the formula other than gospel still is not strong enough to get that crossover appeal to people enough that they would play it all the time, or nonchurch people would accept it, but I disagree.
I look forward to working with President Trump. I’ve worked with him many times in the past, but we disagree.
I would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that’s not the way our food system in America is set up. It’s very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do.
Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life.
I love dressing up, and I’m aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!
A lot of people think that persuasion is all about values and aligning values. I largely disagree. I think persuasion generally, and political persuasion more particularly, has much more to do with explaining in new ways and connecting dots in new ways than just invoking emotions and values.
The humble are in danger when those in power disagree.
I think it is important for me to speak out on social issues. Sometimes people will agree with me. Sometimes people will disagree with me. I don’t take that personally.
The decision in Citizens United said that money equals speech, a position that I – and a vast majority of Americans, in poll after poll – could not disagree with more.
I don’t speak out of place, but if you ask me, I will definitely speak the truth. Also, my opinion is my opinion. I don’t feel the need to force anybody to agree or disagree with me. But if you ask me, I do feel it’s important to speak with confidence about my feelings about whatever the questions are.
There’s an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn’t disagree more.

Jake Corman, he and I disagree on issues politically, but Jake Corman is not a bad guy.
In the old way of doing business, it was fine to disagree and then go to dinner. Now it’s personal and more partisan, and a disagreement on one issue leads to a disagreement on another issue.
Cabinet members may disagree and even resign in protest, but, ultimately, they must obey the order of the Commander-in-Chief.
Thoughtful people of different political philosophies can disagree, but in a very agreeable manner.
There is a way to disagree with someone, but it doesn’t have to be threatening.
I listen to a lot of criticism. From the Left and the Right and from everywhere. I mean, everybody’s a media critic. And sometimes I think it’s on point, and other times, I think about it and consider it and then might ultimately disagree with it. But I do listen to it; I really do.
Ron Howard is the family patriarch. When he gave orders, directions, or suggestions to family members, they were not to be questioned. It was considered wrong to disagree with him.
It’s important to acknowledge the danger when we provide an academic venue for racism. It’s interesting to hear people push the, quote, ‘free speech’ narrative in this way. They deny the speech of the people who disagree.
Some say the economy means that you have to persuade people to invest in clothes – to buy less things but more expensive things. I disagree – invest in jewelry, or a house, maybe, but not in fashion.
I believe President Obama loves this country and wakes up every morning trying to do what is best for our nation, even if I disagree with his approach.
Nothing ruins the flow of conversation more quickly than refusing a compliment you have just received. Never disagree with something nice that is said to you or about you.
I think that it’s a mistake to assume that because you’re taking a position from somebody else who you might disagree with – or you know you disagree with on some things – to assume that you disagree with on everything and to not look at each policy on its own merits.
There will be moments when you disagree or cross a line and say or do something offensive or hurtful to someone you truly care about.
