Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:
“A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.”

“For Banquo’s issue have I filed my mind;
For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered;
Put rancors in the vessel of my peace
Only for them; and mine eternal jewel
Given to the common enemy of man,
To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings!”
