I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

What is history but a fable agreed upon?

If China is helping its domestic industries charge an artificially low price for solar panels and other environmental goods then China is violating international trade rules that it agreed to when it became a member of the World Trade Organization.

The learned are not agreed as to the time when the Gospel of John was written some dating it as early as the year 68 others as late as the year 98 but it is generally conceded to have been written after all the others.

When Brian told me he grew up in New Mexico I told him I thought it is cool that people from other countries play football. He corrected me on my geography and agreed to sit down with me anyway.

That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years.

When you Google me you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.

There's no being wrong in seeing something in art only being disagreed with.
