The government can’t even do a good job of something as simple as running the Post Office. How can it be expected to do a good job with something really important, like educating our children? Rand Paul
How did we kill time before smartphones? I honestly can’t recall. I have a vague recollection of flipping through magazines in waiting-room-type situations, but what did we do, say, in line at the post office? Waiting for a bus? Waiting for someone to meet us at a restaurant? I mean, did we just look around or something? Paul F. Tompkins

Winona LaDuke

From the outside, the CIA seems pretty exotic, but from the inside, it’s a big, bureaucratic place. Think ‘post office with spies.’ Barry Eisler
The post office doesn’t guarantee delivery, but it tries really hard. It’s called best efforts communication. If you put two postcards in the post-box, they don’t necessarily come out then in the same order that you put them in. So, that means that there’s potentially disorder with your delivery, and that’s also true in the Internet. Vint Cerf
I really love the combination of Israel and England. They are completely different. The British are very private and keep things to themselves, while Israelis aren’t that way. In England, I couldn’t make friends with people in the supermarket or people who work at my bank or post office, but in Israel I can, and I like that. Steven Wilson
I want to pass on my secrets to people who are going to say, ‘I have realised that I love baking, and now I’m going to make my bread and sell it at the local farmers’ market,’ or who might say, ‘I am going to use the local Post Office in our village to sell my cakes.’ I want to give them that little bit of fire. Paul Hollywood
My father worked in the Post Office. A lot of double shifts. All his friends were in the same situation – truck drivers, taxi cab drivers, grocery clerks. Blue collar guys punching the clock and working long, hard hours. The thought that sustained them was the one at the center of the American dream. Gary David Goldberg
Megaupload was a dual-use technology. You can use it for good things, and you can use it for bad things.

If someone speeds with the car he just bought, you don’t go to the car manufacturer and say, ‘Hey, we’re shutting you down.’ Kim Dotcom

I had an uncle who was a postal official at the Polish post office in Gdansk.

My father worked in a post office and never made probably more than $8,000 a year as an employee of the post office, so when people can rise up from very modest circumstances and do well economically, I think that’s a good thing about America, and we should encourage that kind of activity. David Rubenstein
I need to feel as if everything is clean and in its proper place before I can even attempt to write one word. At least, that’s what I tell myself. I make the bed, I put away the dishes, maybe I dust, maybe I do the laundry, maybe I go to the post office. Said Sayrafiezadeh

Mail your packages early so the post office can lose them in time for Christmas. Johnny Carson
I don’t film messages. I let the post office take care of those. Bernardo Bertolucci

In an urban area, you’re not going to be an hour away from another post office. Blake Farenthold
I’ve learnt that the muse is like an angry girlfriend. If she comes knocking you better be home because if you’re not, she doesn’t leave a note saying pick up after 3 P. M. from the post office. The gift she had is gone forever. Anh Do
My favourite books are Charles Bukowski’s ‘Post Office’ and ‘Women.’ Alex Pettyfer
The post office actually achieves its mission. I wish we could say the same of the CIA. Barry Eisler

To come to England in the 1970s was to return to this strange other-world of half-known history. I found the imperial architecture curiously familiar: the post office, the town hall, the botanic gardens. Romesh Gunesekera
In my fairly disorganized life, yellow stickies are too easily lost, and as for software, I try to avoid using my computer as much more than a typewriter and a post office. I rely on my lifelong habit of daydreaming to spin my stories. Julia Glass

In the name of ‘mutual assistance,’ the Soviet Union would occupy Latvia until 1991, and it continues to occupy Latvia: in the obedient, epic lines at the post office, in the fug of coal smoke outside cities, in the notorious apartment buildings made of bricks of radioactive compressed ash.

There’s ups and downs of any job. If you worked at the post office, there’s ups and downs. You have your good days, and you have your bad days. If you’re a housewife, you have your good days, and you have your bad days. Tracy Morgan
Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in. Susie Bright
I want to be compensated. If I’m working at the post office, and I’m sorting the same mail as the person to the right, and they’re making $25 an hour and I’m making $21, I need to know what is this person doing so much better that he’s getting $4 more than me. That’s just knowing the market and being a smart businessman. Tyron Woodley
I was the youngest of four kids, and Dad, who had a garden centre before he retired, came from a large Lancashire family. Every one of my uncles had their own business, including a post office, two fish and chip shops and a painting and decorating business. Rick Astley
