But, that aside, let me say that I swear, on the souls of my grandchildren, that I will not be the one to break the peace we've made here today."

Gangsta Quotes From Paul Castellano

Paul Castellano Gangsta Sayings

Here Are Some Gangsta Quotes From Paul Castellano:

"This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey that's great. But it's very unpredictable. There's so many ways you can screw it up."

"There are certain promises you make that are more sacred than anything that happens in a court of law, I don't care how many Bibles you put your hand on. Some of the promises, it's true, you make to young, before you really have an understanding of what they mean. But once you've made those first promises, other promises are called for. And the thing is you can't deny the new ones without betraying the old ones. The promises get bigger; there are more people to be hurt and disappointed if you don't live up to them. Then, at some point, you're called upon to make a promise to a dying man."

"If the president of the United States, if he's smart, if he needs help, he'd come. I could do a favor for the president."

"We're not children here. The law is - how should I put it? A convenience. Or a convenience for some people, and an inconvenience for other people. Like, take the law that says you can't go into someone else's house...I have a house, so, hey, I like that law. The guy without a house - what's he think of it? Stay out in the rain, schnook. That's what the law means to him."

Gangsta Quotes From Anthony Casso

Anthony Casso Gangsta Sayings

Here Are Some Gangsta Quotes From Anthony Casso:

"Most all men in my life, everyone I know, had girlfriends. It goes with the territory. Women are drawn to us, the power, the money, and we're drawn to them. But only in passing. Some guys treated their mistresses better than their wife, but that's outrage. No class. Only a cafone does that. I never loved any woman but Lillian. She and my family always came first."

"I truly feel sorry for the younger generation that wants to belong to that life. It's sad for them. There is absolutely no honor and respect today. Little do the newcomers know that there are many made members in the Mafia that wish not to be there and would like nothing better than to walk away from it. So they do the next best thing: stay low key if possible. The young newcomers will never see the kind of big money that was once made. That's long gone. They don't realize what it means to be free and have peace of mind until its taken from them."

Gangsta Quotes From John Dillinger

John Dillinger Gangsta Sayings

Here Are Some Gangsta Quotes From John Dillinger:

"Now nobody get nervous, you aint got nothing to fear. Youre being robbed by the John Dillinger Gang, thats the best there is!"

"All my life I wanted to be a bank robber. Carry a gun and wear a mask. Now that it's happened I guess I'm just about the best bank robber they ever had. And I sure am happy."

"I rob banks for a living, what do you do?"

"Now nobody get nervous, you ain't got nothing to fear. You're being robbed by the John Dillinger Gang, that's the best there is!"

"OK, boys; let's go make a withdrawal."

"These few dollars you lose here today are going to buy you stories to tell your children and great-grandchildren. This could be one of the big moments in your life; don't make it your last!"

"They're not going to get me."

"What do you expect me to do about it?"

"My buddies wanted to be firemen, farmers or policemen, something like that. Not me, I just wanted to steal people's money!"

"No; small timers get into it, and ruin it for everyone."

Some very powerful and memorable quotes. I know deep down they were not pleasant but at least they had a code and respect for the life and circles they moved in. Very interesting lens it's kept me amused for far too long.
