John Gotti

Don't carry a gun. It's nice to have them close by, but don't carry them. You might get arrested.

Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.

I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.

If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn't have a job if he was any smarter.
