One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We accept the world in order to change it. If you do not accept, then what are you going to change?
If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.
Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.
We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.
My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldn't want to ruin their happiness - even if that happiness is ignorance.
I cannot surrender my principles, though the whole world besides should vote them down - I can make no compromise between truth and error, even though my life be the alternative.
My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.
Thoughtful people of different political philosophies can disagree, but in a very agreeable manner.
Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.
I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'
