Famous quotes containing the word camp:

    “When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Killers, huh? I’d trade the pair of you for a good Camp Fire Girl.”
    —Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

    “If all would lead their lives in love like me,
    Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
    No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
    Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
