You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.

A smile can get you far, but a smile with a gun can get you further.

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

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.

I am like any other man. All I do is supply a demand.

A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army. We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

Wake up everyday stronger than yesterday, face your fears and wipe your tears.

Stick around long enough to be someone's friend. Because true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.
