Special Inspector General

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

    Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Inspector Clouseau: Do I detect something in your voice that says I am in disfavor with you?
    Chief Inspector Dreyfus: Yes. I wish you were dead.
    Inspector Clouseau: Well, of course, you are entitled to your opinion.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    Anti-Nebraska, Know-Nothings, and general disgust with the powers that be, have carried this county [Hamilton County, Ohio] by between seven and eight thousand majority! How people do hate Catholics, and what a happiness it was to show it in what seemed a lawful and patriotic manner.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
