Special Inspector General

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

    It is a maxim among these lawyers, that whatever hath been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    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)

    Towards him they bend
    With awful reverence prone; and as a God
    Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
    Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
    That for the general safety he despis’d
    His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
    Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
    Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
    Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
