Camp Fire Girls

Famous quotes containing the words camp, fire and/or girls:

“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)

“As fire refines gold, so suffering refines virtue.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Two girls discover
the secret of life
in a sudden line of
poetry.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
