Men of business frequently find their personal lives disrupted by the larger portraits they paint.
Listen, Father, I don’t mean to be an a**hole, but it’s part of my business.[to Father Anan]
Jesse, you asked me if I was in the meth business or the money business. Neither. I’m in the empire business.
In business, in life, what you learn to appreciate the most is a dependable man. One day same as the next.
If you want to neutralize a threat, give it a job.

I don’t concern myself with the present. My business is the future.
Fate’s a tricky business. It still requires work. And planning.
Everyone in this idiotic business is an idiot. You ever meet someone in show business who’s not an idiot, then they’re an a**hole. It’s a business of idiots and a**holes.
Every business needs shipping and selling. You can’t separate the two.
