Famous quotes containing the word agree:
“Have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? For if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 13:2.
“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Clarity is of no importance because nobody listens and
nobody knows what you mean no matter what you mean,
nor how clearly you mean what you mean. But if you
have vitality enough of knowing enough of what you
mean, somebody and sometime and sometimes a great
many will have to realize that you know what you mean
and so they will agree that you mean what you know,
what you know you mean, which is as near as anybody
can come to understanding any one.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
