Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or issue:
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a childs abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
“Lifes so short, Katie. You have to make every moment count. Its not easy to do, you know. I dont think that a day goes by when I dont turn my back on some small thing or some issue somewhere. But its so short, Katie. If youre not careful, the days go by and all you have time for is regret.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
