I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.

There is nothing more likely to start disagreement between people or countries than an agreement.

Men are much more apt to agree in what they do than in what they think.

We are more inclined to hate one another for points on which we differ, than to love one another for points on which we agree.

Insofar as it represents a genuine reconciliation of differences, a consensus is a fine thing; insofar as it represents a concealment of differences, it is a miscarriage of democratic procedure.

Men ... are not agreed about any one thing, not even that heaven is over our heads.

Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it.

Agreement is made more precious by disagreement.
