Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or issue:

    “Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.”
    —Robert Bolt (1924–1995)

    “Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion.... The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
