Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    My husband sings Baa Baa black sheep and we pretend
    that all’s certain and good, that the marriage won’t end.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.
    David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
