Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issuein a sense, the only political issueand for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
—Robert Warshow (19171955)
“We have nothing to do, but to choose what is right, to be steady in the pursuit of it, and leave the issue to Providence.”
—Samuel Richardson (16891761)
“Your child...may not call you or other people names.... Dont be tempted to gloss over this issue. You may be able to talk to yourself into not minding being called names, but this decision may come back to haunt you in later years. If you let a preschooler speak disrespectfully to you now, youll have a much harder time of it when your child is a preteen and the issue resurfaces, which it is likely to do then.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
