Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    “I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart.
    But the saying is true: “The empty vessel makes the greatest
    sound.””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
    —Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    “I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
