Government Building

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or building:

“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
