Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    “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 (1689–1761)

    “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 issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
    —Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

    “The reason child care is such a loaded issue is that when we talk about it, we are always tacitly talking about motherhood. And when we’re talking about motherhood we’re always tacitly assuming that child care must be a very dim second to full-time mother care.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
