Part 1:
Godfather (1972) and
Godfather Part II (1974)
Mario Puzo / Francis Ford Coppola
Wiki : Godfather Godfather Part II
1)
Vito Corleone : Each man has but one destiny
2) Priorities in Life (in order)
a. Absolute uncompromising love for the family.
b. Loyalty and friendship
c. Principles , Truth
d. Anything that we truly desire as destiny - career, wealth, power etc
3) All institutions (the well organised ones, that is ) need buffers . Ideally atleast 3 levels of them.
4) Never utter a word of threat - it is a foolish and compromising display of anger and hate. Do it, dont say it .
5)
Haygen : " Its not personal, its business"
Michael : " Dont let them kid you Tom. Its all personal , every bit of business , everywhere "
6) Sincerity and honesty in actions mark true greatness of a man.
7) Never display your true emotions to a foe . Smile is the best weapon . Both Michael and Vito are famous for chilling smiles - smiles that you fear.
8) Do not fear death. Life is inexplicably beautiful and indeterminably short to worry about death. If you can die saying , " Life is beautiful !" , what more would you want ?
9) Show death some respect ! Do not philosophize on it .
10) Something in life are better left unsaid.
If you know'em , just go ahead and do . Dont wait to say.
11) What goes around, comes around.
12)
Keep your friends close , but your enemies closer
