First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves. It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear. Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared "What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

Toward the end of GF I, Vito is telling Michael that he didn't want to have Michael lead the life he did, because he had hoped that he would become "Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone..." and Mike derisively says, "Another pezza novante..." Of course early inhis life that is exactly what Michael wanted to become because he did not want to be "a man like his father." "Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!" "I stood in the courtroom like a fool." "I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
