"If you want the government off your back, get your hands out of its pockets." ― Gary Hart Topic(s): Government More From Gary Hart "I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot." "You can get awful famous in this country in seven days." More In Government "I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who’s handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator."― Rand Paul "I’m a very brave person. I can go to North Vietnam, I can challenge my government, but I can’t challenge the man I’m with if means I’m going to end up alone."― Jane Fonda "If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy."― Thomas Jefferson
