We don’t put the Ten Commandments in school anymore. We just neglect everything and people act like the Ten Commandments is something so terrible. I mean, it’s a way to live. I think we all could agree on what they say.
To survive, China had to open up to the West. It could not survive otherwise. This was after many millions have died of hunger in a country that was like North Korea is today. Once we became part of global competition, we had to agree to some rules. It’s painful, but we had to. Otherwise there was no way to survive.
I’m sorry, if you were right, I’d agree with you.
I’m passionate about people. I’ve spent my life in advocacy. People matter – whether or not we agree on the issue, people matter.
What people are tired of, the people who agree with me, what they’re tired of is listening to that sound, the sound of the people who’ve given up.
When they write a bad review, and you agree with it, that’s the worst feeling. When you know you’ve done what you wanted and the best you could and you love the outcome, then you look at everything differently. Not everyone’s going to love everything you do.
It’s a violent world we live in. I don’t agree with trying to hide that or cover it up.
I’m not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now.
The sheer scale of what the Tories are attempting to do is staggering. But Sinn Fein will not agree to this ideologically driven austerity agenda.
I agree that there are things that should be kept secret.
Audiences are very willing to be taken somewhere, and to ask an audience beforehand what it wants is probably, I think, a mistake. Much better you should tell them what you want and hope they agree with it.
The language that we use now impacts on the ability to vote, it impacts on the marketplace; instead of making things clear, it makes it more confusing. I think we need to stop using neutral language and speak in straighter terms. So when you agree to something, you actually get what you agreed to in the first place.
If I agree to dispose of any part of our land to the white people I would feel guilty of taking food away from our children’s mouths, and I do not wish to be that mean.
Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it’s very hard to teach racism to a teenager who’s listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It’s hard to say, ‘That guy is less than you.’ The kid is like, ‘I like that guy, he’s cool. How is he less than me?
If you go on stage with an agenda, you have to accept not everyone’s going to agree with it.
We do not agree that hindsight is required. The risks of internal strife in Iraq, active Iranian pursuit of its interests, regional instability, and al-Qaeda activity in Iraq, were each explicitly identified before the invasion.
I didn’t want to be behind a desk. I didn’t want to do a normal job. I had made my mind up. I became despondent prematurely. I had my mid-life crisis when I was 16. I suppose I’d agree with that. But acting has helped me develop a lot in my private life.
They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.
I’m just really supportive of everyone – even though I believe that things should be equal, people have different circumstances in their life that have taught them to be who they are. Even if I don’t agree with them, I don’t judge them. I’m a really non-judgmental person.
Negotiation in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
One of the things that Africa needs, everybody seems to agree, is some measure of debt relief.
I don’t agree with everything Madonna’s done but she is fearless.
Look at Fukushima. Should we or should we not agree with the U.S. government that none of that radioactive energy is making its way here? Hello!
We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.
The trouble with the First World War, for example, is that people think war was inevitable, but I don’t agree. If you look at the Cold War, you could argue that a war was bound to happen between the Soviet Union and its allies and the United States and its allies, but it didn’t.
But I would say if the Security Council is only relevant if it agrees with the United States, then we have come a long way in a direction that I do not like very much.
It matters not what your individual position is on either war we are currently prosecuting – in Iraq or Afghanistan – certainly we can all agree protesting at military funerals is a cruel and unnecessary hardship on our military families during their most difficult hour.
If you’re a physicist, for heaven’s sake, and here is the experiment, and you have a theory, and the theory doesn’t agree with the experiment, then you have to cut out the theory. You were wrong with the theory.
Do you agree with me that we can’t afford four more years of Barack Obama?
It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.
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.
Steve Martin said that philosophy is good for comedy because it screws up your thinking just enough, and I agree with that. Being forced to see life’s metadata is good training for looking for interesting angles on a topic.
I agree with Sophocles: the greatest luck is not to have been born – but, as the joke goes on, very few people succeed in it.
When the government is handed over to the Iraqi Council on 30 June, many have declared, oh, the Americans must never leave because civil unrest may erupt. Well, I agree, we cannot abruptly depart, but Iraq needs to step up to the plate on 30 June.
What happens is, illegal immigrants can run across the border, drop a baby, and say, ‘Ha-ha, there’s nothing you can do now. My kid’s an American citizen.’ Well, that wasn’t the intent of the 14th Amendment. Americans would not agree with that. It creates a horrible incentive.
We always thought we had to follow a certain theme but I don’t agree with that anymore. I think the fans deserve a wider variety of music.
And my point was one I think that you’d agree with, which is there’s no room in America for a black racist, a Latino racist, or a white racist, or an Asian racist, or a Native American racist. Now, we’re either color blind or we’re not color blind.
I’m going to work with Republicans when they do things I agree with and I’m going to fight Republicans when they’re doing things that I think are damaging.
I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn’t really what I would want to go for.
In a world as competitive as ours, the child who does not get a decent education is condemned to the fringes of society. I think all Australians agree that this is intolerable. So we must demand as much of our schools as we do of our sports teams – and ensure that they keep the Australian dream alive for every child.
This ultimate fighting stuff is something I don’t agree with. Once a man is down, you have to let him have a chance to prove how good he is.
I’ve been approached after shows from people who said, ‘I don’t agree with anything you said, but I laughed the whole way through.’ That’s still a little strange to me. Like, nothing, really? But at the same time, that’s what happens in a conversation.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
I do read licenses, and they aggravate me, but a computer isn’t much good without software. When I need a product, I hold my nose and click ‘agree.’
While we all could agree that the Zionist ideal is alive and well, there is serious doubt whether the Zionist movement can be said to be an ongoing proposition, fragmented as its components are in ideology and in practice.
Let us agree here today to adopt among ourselves a simple and unwritten rule. We will not rise to criticize someone else’s idea unless we are prepared to offer an alternative idea of our own.
The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny – and hope everyone else agrees.
You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.
If you find someone who agrees with you 80 percent of the time that is your friend not your enemy.
I agree that mommy wars are not good for any mothers: that such wars are time and effort wasted.
I was the one that was always dancing and got along with everybody, but I also spoke my mind. If I didn’t agree with something the teacher would say, I’d tell her, so I would get in trouble for things like that. I’ve always been a good/bad boy.
I agree with the President that second-guessing is not a strategy, but at the same time, I want to continue the dialogue that ultimately will lead to bringing all of our troops home.
I understand everybody in this country doesn’t agree with the decisions I’ve made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.
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.
