I’m always saying “Glad to’ve met you” to somebody I’m not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.
Come, Daddy. Harry doesn’t want to talk to us right now. He’s just too nice to say so.
The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.
The old man: — Why should I worry? My age there's nothing to worry about. You do outlaw deals, you should be the one to worry. Mint tea?
Charlie Wax: — Why the hell not.
James Reese: — You think it was that different back in your day?
The old man: — It is just as evil... but it is a lot less polite.
It’s not polite to assume that somebody is a liar when you’ve only just met him.
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
A civil denial is better than a rude grant.
