I am looking for a John Adams quote.?

Question:I have heard this quote referenced by many people, but have yet been able to find the exact words.

It is something along the lines that the government has to be overthrown every 200 years or so in order to keep our freedoms.

Answers:
He said," No Sam, that's my beer, get out of here."
I have heard versions of this and usually they can be traced back to this quote.

The only quote that is coming to mind is a Thomas Jefferson quote, "A little rebellion now and then...is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."

I know that's probably not what you're looking for, though.
to John Adams we owe the famous line: Ouch!! That smarts!
