We are a small firm working for non-profit issues and campaigns. We
are writing a pamphlet and need some quotations/proverbs/sayings that
would apply to what we are trying to convey.
For example: Necessity: Necessity is the mother of invention"---Then
for our purposes "but in this case the impetus of creativity"

Word: Issue(s): as in the issues discussed tonight during the candidate debate.

Creativity to think up your own catchy saying/phrase etc. is encouraged!

Below you will find a number of quotations regarding issues.
