The Godfather

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns."

    --    Fabrizio
 

"My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator."
"Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed."
"Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?"

    --    Michael and Kay
 

"Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he's refused the first, understood?"

    --    Tom Hagen
 

" Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

    --    Don Corleone
 

"Never let anyone outside the family know what you're thinking."

    --    Don Corleone
 

"I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless. But not men."

    --    Don Corleone
 

"You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your son back to you? Or my boy to me?"

    --    Don Corleone
 

"Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

    --    Michael

"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life - I don't apologize - to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize - that's my life - but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, it wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time."
"We'll get there, pop.  We'll get there."

    --    Don Corleone and Michael
 

"I believe in America. America has made my fortune."

    --    Bonasera
