United States Postal Service creed : ウィキペディア英語版 | United States Postal Service creed
The United States Postal Service has no official creed or motto. The phrase most people associate with the USPS's motto is written on New York's James Farley Post Office, but it has no official status. ==Inscription== An inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City reads: This phrase was a translation by Prof. George Herbert Palmer, Harvard University, from an ancient Greek work of Herodotus describing the Persian system of mounted postal carriers c. 500 B.C.E. The inscription was added to the building by William Mitchell Kendall of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, the building's architects. It derives from a quote from Herodotus' ''Histories'', referring to the courier service of the ancient Persian Empire: The USPS does occasionally cancel deliveries in unsafe weather conditions.
