Leading the Jewish people is not easy -- we are a divided, obstinate, highly individualistic people who have cultivated faith, sharp wittedness and polemics to a very high level.

Shimon Peres

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

Anne Hathaway

Lawsuits generally originate with the obstinate and the ignorant, but they do not end with them; and that lawyer was right who left all his money to the support of an asylum for fools and lunatics, saying that from such he got it, and to such he would bequeath it.

Jeremy Bentham

I feel like we'll forever live in a country that's divided... Divided by race... Divided by love and hate.

Raheem DeVaughn

We cannot be a house divided - divided in will, divided in interest, divided in soul. We cannot be a house divided and live.

Stephen Vincent Benet

Brexit has divided the country. It has divided political parties. And it has divided families too.

Jo Johnson

By that time it was already clear that the next prime minster was going to be Golda Meir, a woman whom I frankly detested - a mutual sentiment, I might add. I knew her as an opinionated, obstinate person, primitive in her outlook, rigid in her attitudes, with a genius for reaching and exploiting the deepest fears and prejudices of the Jewish masses. I was certain that with her as prime minister, all peace efforts would come to a total standstill.

Uri Avnery

I really am opinionated, but not for long. I have found myself coming off of what I think of something because the guy I'm talking to makes better sense than I am. I have so many points of view, I can't keep track of 'em, because I talk to too many people... I'm not so opinionated that I won't budge.

Jerry Lewis

You will deal with ignorant, opinionated and innocent people. You will often have an opportunity to cheat them. If they could, they would cheat you, or force you to sell at less than cost. You must be wise, but not too wise. You must never actually cheat the customer, even if you can. You must make her happy and satisfied, so she will come back.

Alexander Turney Stewart

America is a divided country; we have always been a divided country, but even more divided now, thanks to Trump and a lot of other things, as well.

Michael Kazin

People are just so insensitive because they're ignorant; they don't understand, so they're scared of what they're ignorant of.

Nikki Glaser

Ignorant people remain ignorant because they have a secret agreement to call one another intelligent.

Vernon Howard

Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant--they have been cheated; asleep--they have been surprised; divided--the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson...? The people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it.... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free.

James Madison

In a free society we will tolerate boorish people, who have abhorrent behavior, but if we're civilized people we publicly criticize that and don't belong to those groups or associate with those people.

Rand Paul

In a free society, we will tolerate boorish people, who have abhorrent behavior, but if we're civilized people, we publicly criticize that, and don't belong to those groups or don't associate with those people.

Rand Paul

The most wretched people in the world are those who tell you they like every kind of music 'except country.' People who say that are boorish and pretentious at the same time.
