"This is a business, not a kingdom."

"I have to think about things, before making a decision."

"You must forgive me, I meant no disrespect."

"In this life, you have to do certain things."

"I have always believed in the power of negotiation."

"A man should always have a talent, something he is good at."

"You understand the nature of my work, don't you?"

"I would like to think I am a man of honor."

"The truth can be a very dangerous thing."

"People come to me and they say, 'Don Corleone, what should I do?'"

"I'm not a religious man, but I respect those who are."

"Timing is everything in this world."

"I have not yet made up my mind."
