Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    “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)

    “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)

    “The sun of her [Great Britain] glory is fast descending to the horizon. Her philosophy has crossed the Channel, her freedom the Atlantic, and herself seems passing to that awful dissolution, whose issue is not given human foresight to scan.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
