I love strategies and politics that’s why I keep reading these Godfather quotes over and over. I heard someone once said that everything you need to know in life is in Godfather. Well, not everything but many things. In fact some of the things here I have applied both in my personal undertakings as well as office politics.

Some it’s just a simple stupid movie. I beg to differ. To me and to many other guys out there, the Godfather trilogy is a very influential and perhaps inspirational to our lives. So enjoy these Godfather quotes. And while you're at it, please take time to read Scarface quotes and Fight Club quotes as well.
