While Jews and Christians both agree on many religious issues, we disagree, and believe each other profoundly wrong, about others.
You go down South, and they’re quirky; they have culture, and it’s not uniformly true of our country. Our country has gotten a little blanded out, big sections of it. Even if you disagree with the politics, you have to appreciate the cuisine, the music, the literature.
My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn’t there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay.

There’s so many things that Kanye does that I agree with and disagree with at times. I just say, ‘You’re in a different place, and what you’re doing is experimental. Nobody’s been there in hip-hop.’
I’m proud that I can do that material in a club gig where a lot of people think Page 3’s a bit of fun and you’re the feminist with the problem. It’s always funnier to say: this is my opinion, look how we disagree.
I don’t worry about the crowds agreeing with me anymore. I want them to laugh and have a good time, but I think they can disagree with you and still enjoy it.
If a doctor tells me, ‘Hey, that’s it, and this is how it is,’ and I don’t buy that, then I think I have the right to disagree with you.
Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ’s followers seem to disagree.

It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree, but smiles.
The liberals think government exists to fix what’s wrong with America. They find fault with our Constitution, our economic model and our core values. We disagree with the premise of their argument. We believe there’s nothing wrong with America that an extra dose of freedom won’t cure.
I’ve been working with Pat Robertson on Africa debt-relief, and we disagree on virtually everything except certain very specific, inalienable rights, and the truth is that morality and patriotism come in all shapes and sizes.
Meetings are a great trap. Soon you find yourself trying to get agreement and then the people who disagree come to think they have a right to be persuaded. However, they are indispensable when you don’t want to do anything.
When people say that college isn’t worthwhile and paying all this money isn’t worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.

It is in the interest of Americans to find out what those wanting to be president think about a wide range of challenges and what they might do about them. We should want to get their take on the wisdom of past decisions, what they agree and disagree with, and why.
I think the best of us comes when we are working together collectively. And it doesn’t mean that we can’t disagree. We’ve got to learn, as Dad taught us, to disagree without being disagreeable.

Do I disagree that we need to ban all Muslims from entering the country? Yes, I disagree with that strongly.
People say I inherited my feisty attitude on the cricket pitch from my dad, but he and I might disagree. The most useful trait I’ve inherited from my mother is to make sure that I’m always organised.

A fundamentalist can’t bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.
If you want to open a supermarket chain and put your face all around the globe, selling your baby and your dog, if it makes you happy, who am I to disagree, as the song goes. But it’s not for me. I’ve always tried to keep my integrity and keep my autonomy.
In my opinion, Jesus is God’s attempt to reach man. But while I believe Jesus is the way to God, it makes no sense to hate people who disagree.
I am not a fan of President Trump, I should say. I wouldn’t try to comment on every particular issue in which we disagree, but there are plenty of them.
If you disagree with me about a position I have taken, or what I’ve done, tell me, argue with me, debate. Sometimes, right and good are not that clear; at other times, it is only deliberate and respectful debate that leads us to understand what road we should take.
The Republicans I know or the conservatives I know, they disagree with what the Republicans are doing in Washington because we are compromising too much.

I am an entertainer and don’t believe I should use this position to preach to anyone about who they should be voting for. Others might disagree, but that’s the way I feel.
Take heart, and be patient; change takes time but it is possible, and it’s way more likely if we can reach out and disagree without demonizing.
Music is completely not reality. There’s nothing about music that has any meaning at all. A lot of people disagree with that, but it’s basically true. You can listen to a piece of music, and fifteen people will give you fifteen answers of what it’s about.
When the things in front of you in life reveal how messed up the system is, you lose faith in the system pretty quickly. You develop a contrarian attitude. Your instinct is to disagree with the status quo and then, if you can, to try and shake it up.
Mencius said that human nature is good. I disagree with that.
My general approach to opposition is where the government is getting something right, we should say so. And where we disagree with them, we should say so, too.

People who say spring training’s too long, I absolutely disagree. I think it’s the perfect length of time.
We may disagree on some things, but we can do so without being disagreeable.
I like Mitch Daniels on the fiscal conservative issues. You disagree with him on this idea that social issues, you takeoff the table. I do that for two reasons. I think the fiscal issues in a sense are a symptom of a lot of the deeper cultural issues in America. I don’t think they are as disconnected as he thinks.
If you disagree with the way a colleague did something, call him up, invite him out for a coffee, talk about it. But don’t do it publicly.
Religions, by definition, disagree as to the truth – a reality that cannot be overcome by demanding that one or the other faith repudiate its claim to truth.
The opposition believes that we should allow people to vote without even showing a shred of identification. Canadians disagree.
How can educated and sophisticated viewers react so differently to a work of art? Is it just Kulture Klash? No, since most of the time there’s no Klash at all. On the occasions when we disagree, it may be because we’re looking for different things in dance.
We cannot have that relationship if we only dictate or threaten and condemn those who disagree.
I would describe myself as a practising Catholic. This is only my opinion; others may disagree.
