The question of the family now divides our society so deeply that the opposing sides cannot even agree on a definition of the institution they are arguing about.

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.

I love my family and I miss them very much but I'm a new person now. I know a lot of people will not agree with what I've done but it was right for me.

Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success it enables you to ignore the minor hurts the opponent's pressure and the temporary failures.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

In this connection faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.

I accept people for who they are and love them. That doesn't mean I have to agree or that I have to turn my back on the tenets of my faith and reject the tenets of my faith when it comes to homosexuality.

I have written too much history to have faith in it and if anyone thinks I'm wrong I am inclined to agree with him.

The carrying out of the Potsdam Agreement has however been obstructed by the failure of the Allied Control Council to take the necessary steps to enable the German economy to function as an economic unit.

For me titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try they can be really hard to repair. Or worse if the author thinks they pop out perfect but the publishing house does not agree it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.

There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all?

If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.

All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed or can be made to agree about facts of sensible experience through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive and over which the individual will and character have no control.

I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.

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 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.

Everybody agrees that whatever the solutions are to the big problems they... can never be without some element of education.

The dilemma of modern medicine and the underlying central flaw in medical education and most of all in the training of interns is the irresistible drive to do something anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors in the face of ignorance.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers good teachers from good schools and asked them to define the word education there would be very little general agreement.

I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the hopes and wishes which were formed before and during our time as students.

My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.

No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government no legislature has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.

Eating at home is fine as I can easily work around the foods that don't agree with me and still eat heartily with the rest of my family. I don't force them to follow my diet.

And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight.
