Author of quotes: Mario Puzo. Page 11

When I was young, some women say that they love me for long eyelashes. I've accepted it. Later, for my wit. Then for my power and money. Then for my talent. Then for my mind - deep. Well, I can take it all in. The only woman that scares me is the one that loves me just for what I am. I have plans for her. I have poisons and daggers and dark tombs in the caves to shelter it. She can't be allowed to live. Especially if she is sexually faithful and never lies and always puts me above everything and everyone.

A lawyer with a briefcase in hand robbed more than a hundred fools with guns.
(A lawyer with a briefcase in hand will rake in more than a thousand armed robbers in masks.)
(The lawyer can use your folder to steal more money than a thousand thugs with guns and wearing masks.)

Don Corleone himself was not angry. It has long been understood that the society often causes resentment that we must be able to tolerate, because in this world the poorest of the poor are able to one day open their eyes and revenge is the strongest of the strongest.
(Society and then willing to insult you, and you have to put up with it, hoping that in time it will be time to settle with each, even with the most powerful of offenders.)

If a man was not his real father, he is not a man.

There are things that have to do - do them, but they never say. Not trying to justify them. They have no excuses. They just do it. And forget.

It's always better when friends nedoootsenivayut your dignity, and the enemy exaggerates the disadvantages.
(A friend underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults).

Betrayal can't be forgiven though, because they themselves are traitors never forgive myself self-betrayal, and thus, will always be dangerous - and betray more.

Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than power. It's almost the same as family.
(Friendship is everything. Friendship is above talent. Stronger than any government. Friendship means a little less than family. Never forget. You should erect a wall around itself of friendship - and today, you never cried to me for help.)

I'm not one of those people that throw around your friendship and give it to someone who doesn't appreciate it.
