The words of Judge Ammos Fedorovich Lyapkin-Tyapkin (act 1, phenomenon 1):

Merchants complain about the extortionate governor (act 4, phenomenon 10):

"Who Said 'Uh' Before"
Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky talk about the impression that the innkeeper's story about a new guest made on them (act 1, phenomenon 3.), who, according to the innkeeper,

“He attests himself strangely: he has been living for another week, does not go from the tavern, takes everything to the account and does not want to pay a dime. As he told me this, and so above and enlightened me. Eh! I say to Pyotr Petrovich ...
D o b ch and n s k and y. No, Pyotr Ivanovich, I said it: eh.

"Non-commissioned officer's widow"
The mayor says to Khlestakov (act 4, phenomenon 15):

“The non-commissioned officer lied to you that I whipped her; She's lying, by God she's lying. She whipped herself. "

Although in this case it is precisely the shameless lie of the Governor, whose arbitrariness the non-commissioned officer's widow was, is remarkable, nevertheless this phrase - due to its obvious paradoxicality - has become widely used, and precisely in the sense that the Governor puts into it.
"I went for order, but I returned drunk"
The words of the private bailiff about the policeman Prokhorov, whom the Governor is looking for, to send for urgent work on the improvement of the city in view of the arrival of the "inspector" (act 1, phenomenon 5):
City Is Prokhorov drunk?
PRIVATE PREPARATION Drunk.
City How did you allow this to happen?
PRIVATE PREPARATION God knows him. Yesterday there was a fight outside the city - I went there for order, but returned drunk.
"Come, smell it and go away"
The mayor tells the assembled officials his dream, which foreshadowed the arrival of the "inspector" (act 1, phenomenon 1):

“I seemed to have a presentiment of trouble: today I dreamed all night about two extraordinary rats. Indeed, I have never seen such people: black, unnatural size! came, smelled - and went away. "
"Thirty-five thousand couriers"
Sometimes there are versions derived from the original: "forty thousand couriers", "thirty thousand couriers", etc.
Khlestakov's words (act 3, phenomenon 6):

“Once I even ran a department. And it’s strange: the director left, where he left is unknown. Well, naturally, there was talk: how, what, who should take the place? Many of the generals were hunters and undertook, but they would do, it happened - no, it's tricky. It seems easy to look at, but when you look at it, it’s just damn it! After they see there is nothing to do - come to me. And at that very moment couriers, couriers, couriers ... can imagine thirty-five thousand couriers alone! What is the position, I ask? "
"Respect and loyalty - loyalty and respect"
This is how Khlestakov describes the requirements that he makes to his mythical subordinates in St. Petersburg.
"A simple man: if he dies, he will die; if he recovers, then he will get well."
Words of the trustee of charitable institutions of Strawberry (act 1, phenomenon 1).
"Eck threw where!"
Word of the Governor (act 2, phenomenon 8). When, at the first meeting with Gorodnichy, Khlestakov recalls his debt for a hotel room and promises to pay it, the mayor, who takes Khlestakov for an important incognito official, sees this as a subtle move designed to lull his vigilance. And he says to himself:

“Oh, subtle thing! Eck where he threw! what a fog he let loose! figure out who wants to. "

Quotes from the comedy "The Inspector General" - a work in five acts by the great Russian writer Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol:

I seem to snore well. Where did they get such mattresses and featherbeds? Even sweating.
... And there already an official for writing, a kind of rat, with a pen only: tr ... tr ... went to write.
I like to eat. After all, you live to pick flowers of pleasure.
... I would, I confess, would not have demanded anything more, as soon as you show me devotion and respect, respect and devotion.
It was as if I had a presentiment: today I dreamed all night about two extraordinary rats. Indeed, I have never seen such: black, unnatural size! They came, sniffed, and walked away.

NV Gogol's immortal comedy "The Inspector General" gave us many unforgettable images that are relevant in our time. One of the main characters of the comedy is the mayor Anton Antonovich Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky.
The head of the city is useless from him. The activities of Anton Antonovich led to the fact that everything in the city fell into decay, honestly not a single service works. The governor sees how bad things are everywhere, but he does not want to do anything at all. To judge Lyapkin-Tyapkin, pointing out the disorder in his department, he simply says: "I wanted to notice this before, but somehow I forgot everything." Only the news of the inspector's arrival forced the hero to gather city officials and urge them to restore the semblance of order.
Those, in turn, treat the governor with respect, because with his tacit consent, each of them breaks the law and steals from the treasury. Officials express their zeal for service only in words and are secretly afraid of the mayor: “Have mercy, as much as possible! Weak strength, zeal and zeal for the authorities ... we will try to earn it ... "
Anton Antonovich treats city merchants disrespectfully and harshly, ruthlessly robbing them. One of the merchants says this about it: “There has never been such a mayor. He fixes such offenses that cannot be described. We’ll just stand there, even get into the noose ... We always follow the order ... No, you see, all this is not enough for him! He will come to the shop and, whatever he gets, he takes everything ... "; “… And, it seems, you will apply everything, you do not need anything; no, give him more ... ”This characterizes the governor as a greedy and greedy person.
His virtue is shown only in relation to his wife and daughter. He does not leave them in the dark about the visit of the inspector and, even in a great hurry, writes his wife a gentle and polite note: "Kissing, darling, your hand, I remain yours ..."
Thus, the mayor seems to us "not stupid in his own way", who managed to direct all city affairs to his own enrichment.
The final scene of the comedy is a worthy ending to the mayor's activities. He appears to be a fooled, stupid person who is easily deceived by a visiting rascal from St. Petersburg. It was such a shock for Anton Antonovich that he repeats in bewilderment: “How am I - no, how am I, an old fool? A stupid ram out of his mind survived! Look, look, the whole world, all Christianity, everybody, look how the mayor is fooled! "
A good lesson was taught to the mayor. Perhaps this comedy by Gogol will continue to serve as a reminder to every official in our time that such a "inspector" may appear in his life.

If there were any bribes, then just a little: something to the table and a couple of dresses. As for the non-commissioned officer's widow, engaged in the merchants, whom I allegedly whipped, then this is slander, by God, slander. This was invented by my villains: they are such a people that they are ready to encroach on my life. Khlestakov. What is it? I have nothing to do with them. (Reflection.)

That's why I'm sitting here because I don't have a penny. Governor (aside). Oh, subtle thing! Eck where he threw! what a fog he let loose! Disassemble who wants! You don't know which side to take. Well, yes, try it at random. (Aloud.) If you definitely have a need for money or something else, then you are ready to serve this minute. It is my duty to help travelers. Khlestakov. Give, lend me! I will pay the innkeeper at once. I would only have two hundred rubles or even less. Governor (bringing up pieces of paper). Exactly two hundred rubles, although you don’t bother to count. N.V.

I myself, following your example, want to study literature. It's boring, brother, to live like that; want food for the soul at last. I see: I definitely need to do something high.

My God, what a soup! I think that no other person in the world has eaten such a soup: some feathers float instead of butter.

Extraordinary lightness in thought.

This is an ax fried instead of beef.

I would, I confess, would not have demanded anything more, as soon as you showed me devotion and respect, respect and devotion.

And at that very moment, couriers, couriers, couriers along the streets ... You can imagine thirty-five thousand couriers alone!

I will be promoted to field marshal tomorrow.

Well, well, well ... leave it, you fool! You are used to treating others there: I, brother, are not that kind! I don’t advise you.

Governor

I have invited you, gentlemen, in order to tell you the unpleasant news: an auditor is coming to us.

Ah, damn it, it's nice to be a general!

Why are you laughing? - You are laughing at yourself!

There is no person who does not have any sins behind him. This is already so arranged by God himself.

I nodded a little; but not lying down, no speech is spoken.

Well, otherwise a lot of intelligence is worse than it would be at all.

She-she, and I do not want any honors. It is, of course, tempting, but before virtue all dust and vanity.

The non-commissioned officer lied to you that I whipped her; she's lying, by golly, lying. She whipped herself.

Yes, if a passing official asks the service, are you satisfied, so that they would answer "We are happy with everything, Your Honor!" And whoever is dissatisfied, after I will give him such displeasure!

Like me, no, like me, you old fool! A stupid ram out of his mind survived!

Lyapkin-Tyapkin

A big ship has a great voyage.

I tell everyone openly that I take bribes, but why bribes? Greyhound puppies. This is a completely different matter.

And the money is in the fist, but the fist is all on fire.

Well, our city!

Strawberry

According to merit and honor.

Since I took over the leadership, it may even seem incredible to you, everyone is recovering like flies. The patient does not have time to enter the infirmary, as he is already healthy; and not so much medicine as honesty and order.

As for healing, Christian Ivanovich and I took our own measures: the closer to nature, the better - we do not use expensive medicines. The man is simple: if he dies, he will die anyway; if he recovers, he will get well anyway.

The patients were ordered to give gabersup, but I have such cabbage along all the corridors that take care only of my nose.

Luka Lukic

I confess, I was brought up so that, speak to me of one rank, someone higher, I just don't have a soul and my tongue is stuck in the mud.

Honestly, I never took an onion into my mouth.

And yesterday, you scoundrel, I paid a hundred rubles (about the mayor).

Osip

Every burden seems heavy on an empty belly.

And the rope will come in handy on the road.

Damn it, I’m so hungry, and there’s a rumble in my stomach as if a whole regiment had trumpeted.

“You too! Couldn't find another place to fall! And stretched out like the devil knows what it is. "
My life is a penny
Only happiness creeps in who is stupid like a log, does not understand anything, does not think about anything, does nothing, and plays only a penny in Boston with used cards!
At whom you laugh, you laugh at yourself!
I like to eat. After all, you live to pick flowers of pleasure.
"Yes, if they ask why a church was not built at a charitable institution, for which a sum was allocated a year ago, then do not forget to say that it began to be built, but it burned down. I presented a report about this. , foolishly say that it never started. "
I tell everyone openly that I take bribes, but why bribes? Greyhound puppies. This is a completely different matter.
I smoked cigarettes for twenty-five hundred rubles, you just kiss your hands later, as you smoke.
"Alexander the Great is a hero, but why break chairs?"
Yes, such is the already inexplicable law of fate: an intelligent person - either a drunkard, or will make such a face that at least take out the saints.
No, the mind is a great thing. Light needs subtlety. I look at life from a completely different point. This is not a thing to live like a fool, but to live with subtlety, with art, to deceive everyone and not be deceived yourself - this is the real task and goal.
Since I took over the leadership, it may even seem incredible to you, everyone is recovering like flies. The patient does not have time to enter the infirmary, as he is already healthy; and not so much medicine as honesty and order.
But let me tell you, I'm kind of ... I'm married.
Our friends will always be overwhelmed. For example, Pushkin. Why is all of Russia now talking about him? All the friends: shouted, shouted, and then, after them, the whole of Russia began to shout.
The tea is so strange: it stinks of fish, not tea.
Now every little booger who has just crawled out already thinks that he is an aristocrat.
I know that there are some of us who are ready to laugh heartily at the crooked nose of a person and do not have the spirit to laugh at the crooked soul of a person.
"No, it is no longer possible to expel this: he says that his mother hurt him in childhood, and since then he gives off a little vodka from him."
For three thousand I undertook to participate, cheat and deceive you. I tell you this bluntly: you see, I am doing a noble thing.
With Pushkin on a friendly footing. Sometimes I often say to him: "Well, brother Pushkin?" - "Yes, brother," he replies, it happened, "because somehow everything ..." Great original.
The non-commissioned officer lied to you that I whipped her; she's lying, by golly, lying. She whipped herself!
Now, truly, if God wants to punish, so will take away the mind first.
