Sharice Davids

You can disagree with another person's opinions. You can disagree with their doctrines. You can't disagree with their experience.

Krista Tippett

If I have my opinion about something, you have your opinion about something, we don't have to fight over it. And we can have a conversation.

Don Lemon

Fascism is not just a word. It`s not just a way to insult someone with whom you disagree. It is a specific thing. It is a specific form of far right politics that involves a sort of narcissistic cult of superman action around the leader of the party.

Rachel Maddow

If you disagree with me, fine! Because that's the great thing about America, we can disagree!

As a life-long liberal who has engaged in protests against the government and for civil rights, I am saddened at efforts by some of my fellow liberals to silence commencement speakers with whom they might disagree on some issues.

Bob Beckel

If you are in a meeting and you disagree mentally then you have an obligation to disagree verbally!

Perry Noble

... the issue is not whether I agree with someone but rather how I treat someone with whom I profoundly disagree. We Christians are called to use the "weapons of grace," which means treating even our opponents with love and respect.

Philip Yancey
