I disagree that an athlete can’t be intelligent. Some people think that, in basketball, we have a bunch of masculine adults who don’t know how to control themselves. They’re feeble-minded and can’t engage or articulate ideas. That’s a narrative they keep trying to paint.
Most people inside the bureau believe that the blown opportunities to head off 9/11 would not recur today. Even among the FBI’s doubters, few disagree that the bureau has come a long way.
You’ve got to do what’s right, or what you think is right. And you’ve got to make tough decisions. And you’ve got to be willing to take on your friends when you disagree with them.
I feel like I’ve been lucky, because I don’t feel like I’ve ever tried to be somebody I’m not. People might disagree.
Economists agree about economics – and that’s a science – and they disagree about economic policy because that’s a value judgment… I’ve had profound disagreements on policy with the famous Milton Friedman. But, on economics, we agree.
I don’t disagree with ending Congress’ retirement program. I’m a governor; I don’t have a retirement program in my state, and I don’t disagree with that.
We don’t pretend to disagree.
You can love me or hate me and disagree with me, but you sure as hell know where I stand.
I particularly recognize that reasonable people can disagree as to what that proper balance or blend is between privacy and security and safety.
I feel very strongly about contraception even though I know people say that, as a good Catholic girl, I shouldn’t. But I disagree because I think one of the keys to women’s progression in the 20th century is being able to control their fertility.
I knew I was gay at 18, but to come out then would have meant I would not have achieved what I did in rugby. I loved rugby so much and it was so important to me that I made the decision to keep my sexuality secret. People may disagree with that, but it was my belief and my decision.
The only people I’ve ever heard saying that disagreeing with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld is un-American or treasonous are people who disagree with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.
My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldn’t want to ruin their happiness – even if that happiness is ignorance.
The problem is we disagree about the origin. Is this occupied land or not?
Am I crazy? My opponents say I am, but I disagree.
I think that’s probably the number one reason why collaboration is good. You disagree with each other about things and then what we always say is whichever one of us is more passionate about the issue is the winner because if you care about something enough to fight for it, that means it’s probably a good thing.
I have known several presidents quite well, including my husband, and I worked closely with President George W. Bush and the White House then after 9/11, and I served with President Obama. I disagree with all three of those presidents on certain things.
There will be no name-calling when I disagree with anyone, no disparaging remarks toward anyone, no taking sole credit for collective achievements or blaming others when things go wrong.
Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger – they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.
When you’re governor, you’ve got to step up to the plate; you’ve got to make a proposal for a balanced budget. That’s the requirement. And then you’ve got to sit down and negotiate if the folks that you need to work with disagree with you on points.
People ask me, do I ever disagree with my father? It would be a little strange if I didn’t.
By isolating ourselves from those with whose opinions we disagree, we lose the ability to defend our beliefs.
By the very nature of his art, which depends on invention and innovation, a story teller must depart from the beaten track and, having done so, occasionally startle and disagree with some of his associates. Healthy disagreement we must have.
You seem to think that the only genuine existence evil can have is conscious existence – that no one is evil unless he admits it to himself. I disagree.
When people think fashion is just the surface of things, I disagree very politely.
I think that if you make a strong statement of principle, even if the folks disagree with you, people will respect you for it.
There are some that feel like human activity is the cause for carbon emissions, and because of that, we need to revert to where we were in the 1870s for carbon emissions. I just choose to disagree with that.
I disagree with those who want to shut down the H-1B Visa program.
I still have a lot of judgmentalism in me, where I’d see somebody, and I just would, you know, I disagree with this person, and you kind of automatically cast them away. And even though you don’t do anything physically, you don’t say anything, but people get a real sense of your heart.
Good people can disagree.
The President and I agree that Social Security needs to be preserved so that we can ensure that all Americans receive the retirement benefits they’ve been promised. But we disagree as to how best to fix the system.
I completely disagree with Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute on the need for dignity in the marketplace instead of the social safety net, but he is a very persuasive character.
Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats.
I’m an FDR Democrat, and I really believe that the most important thing is the institutions of political parties, and engaging in those institutions, and, where you disagree with them, speaking up and sharing your disagreement.
I read the ‘Guardian,’ because it’s a bit like having an argument with a mate. We mostly have the same sensibilities, but where we disagree, it’s infuriating.
When you disagree with somebody else, they often tend to get very defensive. But that doesn’t stop me from doing the kind of work that I want to do.
In business, there’s a saying: ‘Disagree and commit.’ It means that everyone should speak up before a decision is made. But once the boss has decided, you all get behind it to make it happen.
Politics is full of hyperbole. Politics is full of hyperbole and partisanship, and every four to eight-year cycle, those that disagree with the platform or the party of the president in power find themselves thinking we’ve arrived at hell in a handbasket.
I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe, then I’m happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.
Every American knows there are government expenses that are absolutely not necessary. I disagree with the very idea that our government is spending $2.4 trillion in the most efficient manner.
All of us are made up of the stories that we listen to, the ones we disagree with and the ones that we agree with.
Cannes is a sort of gladiators’ arena, and that’s the fun part of it. When you accept to come here to open the festival, you know you are going to be criticised. I have no problem with the fact that I expose myself and the movie, and it’s normal that I can disagree with the way some people feel.
I don’t believe it’s productive to go around and badmouth anyone that I work with, because at the end of the day, we all have to sit in front of each other and agree or disagree.
I don’t disagree with the critics often, and I’m not destroyed by bad criticism anymore. There comes a point when you go beyond it.
Remember, if you want to love your life and live it to the fullest, don’t let the sun go down on your anger. If you don’t have a solution to the issue, agree to disagree and focus on the importance of the relationship.
Any time scientists disagree, it’s because we have insufficient data. Then we can agree on what kind of data to get; we get the data; and the data solves the problem. Either I’m right, or you’re right, or we’re both wrong. And we move on. That kind of conflict resolution does not exist in politics or religion.
I think I’ve always had that orientation to try to understand the humanity behind people with whom I disagree.
I think America is less safe on a lot fronts, and I disagree with the release of the information from Dianne Feinstein. I think she’s as much a traitor to this country at this point as I thought about Edward Snowden and his release of information about other investigations and abilities from an intelligence standpoint.
We can’t live in fear. There are going to be people who will disagree with us, but it’s important for us to stand up and say what’s right and what’s wrong.
That didn’t happen. Still, I had six pretty good years and one where I didn’t reach what I wanted for myself or the club. I don’t accept that makes you a bad manager or a poor coach. If that is the view I strongly disagree with it.
If you disagree with me, fine! Because that’s the great thing about America, we can disagree!
Women are a strange thing. Like watches, houses, and cars, you really only need one at any moment in your life (French men disagree).
I don’t disagree with seeing a Rubens of a nude body, but I don’t believe in a nude body in action. With Rubens, thank goodness, they aren’t in action.
