More quotes by 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
Many young men started down a false path to their true destiny. Time and fortune usually set them aright.
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
Never let a domestic quarrel ruin a day's writing. If you can't start the day fresh, get rid of your wife.
Mario Puzo
Why should I be afraid now? Strange men have come to kill me ever since I was twelve years old.
Mario Puzo
Revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.
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
Time erodes gratitude more quickly than it does beauty!
Mario Puzo
Like many businessmen of genius he learned that free competition was wasteful, monopoly efficient. And so he simply set about achieving that efficient monopoly.
Mario Puzo
Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.
Mario Puzo
I find the only thing that really stands up, better than gambling, better than booze, better than women, is reading.
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 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
All gamblers are paranoid, though they call it superstition.
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
ِAn offer you can't refuse.
Mario Puzo
But you're the toughest son of a b!&€# i've ever seen.You never let anybody get near you.You never let anybody know what you really think.
Mario Puzo
I will make you an offer you cannot refuse
Mario Puzo
A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
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
