some quotes out of "THE GODFATHER" - Mario Puzo




  • -why thrusts his friendship on those who do not value it– on those who think me of little account."


  • -society imposes insults that must be borne, comforted by the knowledge that in this world there comes a time when the most humble of men, if he keeps his eyes opens, can take his revenge on the most powerful.


  • "Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than government. It is almost the equal of family. Never forget that. If you had built up a wall of friendships you wouldn't have to ask me to help.


  • "Get everyone on it even if they can't help us right now. I believe in friendship and I am willing to show my friendship first."


  • He claimed that there was no greater natural advantage in life than having an enemy overestimate your faults, unless it was to have a friend underestimate your virtues.


  • Don's precept that a friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults.


  • You're making the move out of weakness, not strength. That's always bad.


  • "Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it is cold,"
