Even as a young man, Vito Corleone became known as a "man of reasonableness." He never uttered a threat. He always used logic that proved to be irresistible. He always made certain that the other fellow got his share of profit. Nobody lost. He did this, of course, by obvious means. Like many businessmen of genius he learned that free competition was wasteful, monopoly efficient. And so he simply set about achieving that efficient monopoly.

I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money, power on earth.

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.

I have always believed helping your fellow man is profitable in every sense, personally and bottom line.

Power isn't everything ...its the only thing.

Never get angry. Never make a threat. Reason with people.
