Famous quotes containing the words parcel and/or post:

    Have ye got the parcel there for Mrs White?
    Ye haven’t! Oh, begorra!
    Say it’s comin’ down tomorra—
    And it might now, Michael, so it might!’
    William Percy French (1854–1920)

    I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
