Famous Quotes & Sayings

Barbara Kingsolver

Elaine Rubin

Right now, UPS is sort of the default choice. If someone comes up with the better mousetrap, then suddenly they won't be so satisfied with UPS. If USPS starts acting like an innovative business, then a lot of people would like to work with them. The Airborne thing also makes a lot of sense.
