Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“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)
“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)
“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)
