It can be tough to find areas where Left and Right can agree. Consider the well-being of children: Americans often disagree about how to raise kids, how to educate them, even what to feed them.
One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds.
Folks, do you agree with me that we cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama?
Every American, whether Democrat or Republican, agrees that job creation and affordable energy will be crucial to our economic turnaround.
That’s my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but there are some who don’t and I’ve always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions.
It is true that if you hear our music described, it sounds unappealing. I used to laugh and agree with people when they said it didn’t make any sense.

Though politics is by nature divisive, surely we all can agree that foster children need stability, safety, education, opportunity – and love.
If Jurgen Klinsmann thinks that the best way for his team to be successful is if his young players go to Europe, there is nobody in the world who can argue with that. That is his opinion, whether you agree with it or not.
I am convinced that the steps contained in H.R. 624 are reasonable, acceptable, and valuable. The vast majority of members of Congress who take the time to study this legislation will agree.
I tend to agree with many aspects of President Obama’s policies.
The Democrats have invested a lot of time in telling struggling Americans that Republicans or anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda doesn’t care about people who are struggling.
It is amazing that the wisdom of the chattering class to the Republicans is always, always, always ‘Surrender your principles and agree with the Democrats.’ That’s been true for my entire lifetime.
Both Republicans and Democrats can agree that more choices and lower prices in transportation would benefit consumers. Democrats would consider it ‘smart government’ and Republicans ‘limited government.’

If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you.
I became a Republican when a very wise young lady asked me how I could remain a Democrat when I didn’t agree with what they stood for and did agree with what the Republicans supported.
All of us show bias when it comes to what information we take in. We typically focus on anything that agrees with the outcome we want.
Appraisals are where you get together with your team leader and agree what an outstanding member of the team you are, how much your contribution has been valued, what massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
We can all agree that no American should lose their life savings or their home because of illness or injury and that the rising cost of health care severely burdens individuals, families and businesses.
I’ve had a lot of bosses that I didn’t agree with, but the worst boss was very much me myself. So, I can’t let myself slack off, and if I do slacking off, I’m the one that’s yelling at myself. I’ve worked with a lot of different employers, and none of them have been as aggressive as I have been.
My own view is that left-wing positions largely come about from resentment – I agree with Nietzsche about this – a resentment about the surrounding social order. They have privileges, I don’t. Or, I have them and I can’t live up to them.
My policy has always been to say what I believe to be in the best interest of the American people and hope the voters agree, or at least will respect my honesty.
It would be nice if we could all agree to this proposition: popularity is not the same as achievement.
Now, if they’re there to talk about something specifically, and I determine through my own editorial judgment, that another area isn’t germane, or isn’t an important part of it, that’s something else. But we never agree to anything in advance, absolutely not.
The great thing about all my siblings is we all agree we had a horrendous childhood. It’s not like it doesn’t affect us now; it affects us every day, in everything we do.
Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness.
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

I agree that not everyone knows who I am. I am not that famous.
So is it always nationalist to resist US globalization? The US thinks it is, and wants you to agree; and, moreover, to consider US interests as being universal ones.
When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary.
I like BuzzFeed, and I understand the pressure that online reporters are under. But I think everyone agrees that, despite all the awesome kitten gifs, they’re still obligated to be skeptical of government officials and ask the right questions.
Nobody reads the disclosures that roll down your computer screen. You click ‘I agree’ but you don’t know what you’re agreeing to.
I’m quite contrary. If people agree on something, I tend to gravitate the other way by my nature. I don’t like to be told what to do. I think it goes back to school. I like to do things I want to do and I really don’t like doing what I don’t want to do.
I know who I am, I know what I can and can’t do. I know what I will and won’t do. I know what I’m capable of and I don’t agree to do things that I don’t think I can pull off.
I think it’s time we all agree that gender stereotypes are simply the confabulation of our own mind.
People say it’s a movie about boxing, but… I don’t agree at all. I don’t think it’s a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It’s just a stage where this is played out.
My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
The earth’s climate has been changing since God created it, with or without man. On that, we should all agree.
Suppose I criticise Iran. What impact does that have? The only impact it has is in fortifying those who want to carry out policies I don’t agree with, like bombing.
We all agree that we’ve got to bring these terrorists to justice and to make sure that they’re never allowed to perpetrate such an evil act as they did. And so all of us are dealing with that. We know that the President has the authority to go to war under the War Powers Act.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything I say.
I agree with the many who consider freezing all sorts of weapons systems a first step in a realistic disarmament policy.
I agree that I am different from others. I am not trying to fit in someone else’s shoes. I am being honest to myself.
One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them.
I think we all agree that the comments Donald Trump made in relation to Muslims were divisive, unhelpful and wrong.
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.
You cannot contribute anything to the ideal condition of mind and heart known as Brotherhood, however much you preach, posture, or agree, unless you live it.
Being against other people’s policies eventually puts you in a downward spiral. It’s fine to be principled and oppose views that you don’t agree with, but you also have to have an alternative.
Do you agree that the European Union should be able to prescribe the mandatory settlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary without the consent of parliament?
Lawyers don’t serve everyone… Lawyers right now can say, ‘I’m not the person to help you on that issue; I don’t agree with what you’re trying to do;’ and they can turn down that person, and they can go somewhere else.
I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the ‘security’ out of Social Security.
If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.
Of course in a democracy the government and the citizens have to abide by court rulings, even if we don’t like them or don’t agree with them.
