Famous quotes containing the words chief, risk and/or officer:

    Eyes—the head’s chief of police. They watch and make mental notes. A blind person is like a city abandoned by the authorities. On sad days they cry. In these carefree times they weep only from tender emotions.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    It’s a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing—nothing.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    When Prince William [later King William IV] was at Cork in 1787, an old officer ... dined with him, and happened to say he had been forty years in the service. The Prince with a sneer asked what he had learnt in those forty years. The old gentleman justly offended, said, “Sir, I have learnt, when I am no longer fit to fight, to make as good a retreat as I can” —and walked out of the room.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
