City Despatch Post

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or post:

    Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
