Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.

William Gurnall

It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.

Agnetha Faltskog

The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial. It is the institution of private property that protects and implements the right to disagree - and thus keeps the road open to man's most valuable attribute: the creative mind.

Ayn Rand

I think that's part of the creative process to disagree about certain ideas. But we also agree just as much as we disagree, I would say.

Carla Azar

I think that's part of the creative process to disagree about certain ideas. But we also agree just as much as we disagree, in the band, I would say.

If you agree with some tenets of Objectivism, but disagree with others, do not call yourself an Objectivist; give proper authorship credit for the parts you agree with

Ayn Rand

America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.

Woodrow Wilson

...tis a dangerous thing to ingage the authority of Scripture in disputes about the Natural World, in opposition to Reason; lest Time, which brings all things to light, should discover that to be evidently false which we had made Scripture to assert.

Thomas Burnet

Friends don't always agree on things. I think you can disagree without being venomous about it. You don't stop being friends just because you disagree.

Billy Graham

For a lot of readers these days, a book is something you have to agree or disagree with. But you can't agree with a novel. For my generation, it was assumed that a book is a dramatic thing, that the eye of the book is not telling you what to think.

Howard Jacobson

A false identity is any lie that contradicts our God-given identities through Scripture. These false identities can be created by ourselves because of sin in our lives, choices made, or wrong turns taken and the regret, guilt, and shame that follows. Other false identities are handed to us by outside sources, maybe a damaging word spoken to us by someone or a childhood of abuse. However, not all false identities are negative on the surface, such as successful, attractive, wealthy, athletic, or talented. But even those identities can become false when we place too much of our weight on them.
