Special Inspector General

Famous quotes containing the words special, inspector and/or general:

    “I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “Inspector Clouseau: How can a blind man be a lookout?
    Chief Inspector Dreyfus: How can an idiot be a policeman? Answer me that!
    Inspector Clouseau: It’s very simple. All he has to do is enlist.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    “At that,
    his small size,
    keen eyes,
    serviceable beak
    and general truculence
    assure his survival—”
