Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or wallace:
“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)
“I ignore all the doomsaying nonsense. I’m in a business where the odds of ever earning a living are a zillion to one, so I know it can be done. I know the impossible can become possible.”
—Marcia Wallace (b. 1942)
