Don Vito Corleone: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Don Vito Corleone: A friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults.

Sollozzo: I don't like violence, Tom. I'm a businessman. Blood is a big expense

Don Vito Corleone: It's an old habit. I spent my life trying not to be careless -- women and children can be careless, but not men.

Don Vito Corleone: You spend time with your family?Johnny Fontane: Sure I do.  Don Vito Corleone: Good. 'Cause a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
