Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    “We find it easy to set limits when the issue is safety.... But 99 percent of the time there isn’t imminent danger; most of life takes place on more ambiguous ground, and children are experts at detecting ambivalence.”
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    “I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it being so proper.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
