Famous quotes containing the words post and/or playing:
“A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, Boy, wheres the post office?
I dont know.
Well, then, where might the drugstore be?
I dont know.
How about a good cheap hotel?
I dont know.
Say, boy, you dont know much, do you?
No, sir, I sure dont. But I aint lost.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
“When as the rye reach to the chin,
And chopcherry, chopcherry ripe within,
Strawberries swimming in the cream,
And school-boys playing in the stream;”
—George Peele (15591596)
