Never get angry
Never make a threat. Reason with people.
5. Never let anyone outside family know what you are thinking. Never let them know what you have under your fingernails
6. Its business, not personal.
7. It’s all personal, every bit of business. Every piece of shit every man to eat every day of his life is personal. They call it business.
8. Accidents don’t happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.
9. There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them. You don’t try to justify them. They can’t be justified. You just do them. Then you forget it.

22. If I can die saying “Life is so beautiful”, then nothing else is important.
23. Never stand for any outsider against your family.
24. A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
