Famous quotes containing the words parcel, post and/or treaty:

    “I am a parcel of vain strivings tied
    By a chance bond together,
    Dangling this way and that, their links
    Were made so loose and wide,
    Methinks,
    For milder weather.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
    The mist in my face,
    When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
    I am nearing the place,
    The power of the night, the press of the storm,
    The post of the foe;
    Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
    Yet the strong man must go:”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
