“If I have to be remembered for something, I want it remembered that I really liked children and was a good camp counselor”

Francis Ford Coppola

"Years later, I found myself running a network television division and then a movie studio and now an entire entertainment company. But, much of the success I've achieved can be traced to the direct and metaphorical lessons I learned in building those campfires. I can hardly think of an aspect of my life that wasn't positively affected by my camping experience."
