Power Wears Out Those Who Do Not

Even As A Young Man, Vito Corleone Became Known As A "man Of Reasonableness." He Never Uttered A Threat. He Always Used Logic That Proved To Be Irresistible. He Always Made Certain That The Other Fellow Got His Share Of Profit. Nobody Lost. He Did This, Of Course, By Obvious Means. Like Many Businessmen Of Genius He Learned That Free Competition Was Wasteful, Monopoly Efficient. And So He Simply Set About Achieving That Efficient Monopoly.

Every Family Has Bad Memories.

There Are Things That Have To Be Done And You Do Them And You Don't Talk About Them. You Don't Try To Justify Them. They Can't Be Justified. You Just Do Them. Then You Forget Them.

Santino, Never Let Anyone Outside The Family Know What You Are Thinking. Never Let Them Know What You Have Under Your Fingernails. I Think Your Brain Is Going Soft From All That Comedy You Play With That Young Girl. Stop It And Pay Attention To Business. Now Get Out Of My Sight.

I Will Make You An Offer You Cannot Refuse
