I would rather be rich affluent and greedy and go to hell when I die, than live in poverty on this earth.

I have spent the best years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.

It's a racket. Those stock market guys are crooked.

We been on the road for 18 hours... I need a bath, some chow... and then you and me sit down, and we talk about who dies,eh?

Some call it bootlegging. Some call it racketeering. I call it a business.

I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job.

Capitalism gives all of us a great opportunity if we seize it with both hands and hang on to it.
