"A man who can laugh at himself is truly blessed, for he will never lack for amusement."
"History is a story of violence at work. It all comes down to the old saw that, however much you can gain with a kind word, you can gain more with a kind word and a gun."
"Violence is the most elemental truth of life. It's the central shaper of history, the ultimate determiner of whether A or B is going to get his way."
"Men tend to remember the best things about the women they've loved and to forget the worst, which is why so many men make the same mistakes with women again and again. Women tend to forget the best things about the men they've loved and to remember the worst, which is why so many women become bitter about men."
"The greatest tragedy that can befall a man is never to know who he really is."
