You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
I have built my organization upon fear.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.

The true gangster hides behind the mask of a businessman.
In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
Say hello to my little friend!
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.
Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

It's better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep.
I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better.
The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
You can't be a real gangster and have a nine-to-five job.
Violence is the gold standard, the reserve that guarantees order.
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.
I'm not a businessman; I'm a business, man!
The world is yours.
