Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or issue:

    “While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “The issue is a mighty one for all people and all time; and whoever aids the right, will be appreciated and remembered.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
