Famous quotes containing the words government and/or politics:
“For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
—Maurice Johnstone (20th century)
