I don't trust society to protect us, I have no intention of placing my fate in the hands of men whose only qualification is that they managed to con a block of people to vote for them.
Mario Puzo
Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.
Mario Puzo
He had long ago learned that 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 open, can take his revenge on the most powerful.
Mario Puzo
You cannot say 'no' to the people you love, not often. That's the secret. And then when you do, it has to sound like a 'yes'. Or you have to make them say 'no.' You have to take time and trouble.
Mario Puzo
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.
Mario Puzo
I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can afford to be careless, but not men.
Mario Puzo
The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money, power on earth.
Mario Puzo
I believe in America. America's made my fortune.
Mario Puzo
The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, lies in its loyalty to each other.
Mario Puzo
We don't know if capital punishment is a deterrent, but we know that men we execute will not murder again.
Mario Puzo
Michael could never remember his father ever having uttered a word about death, as if the Don respected death too much to philosophize about it.
Mario Puzo
Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.
Mario Puzo
Great men are not born great, they grow great . . .
Mario Puzo
ِAn offer you can't refuse.
Mario Puzo

Mario Puzo

Mario Puzo
Many young men started down a false path to their true destiny. Time and fortune usually set them aright.
Mario Puzo
He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.
Mario Puzo
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.
Mario Puzo
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
Mario Puzo
