Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or carroll:
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“That which chiefly causes the failure of a dinner-party, is the running short—not of meat, nor yet of drink, but of conversation.”
