I think it's a great piece of dialogue from the greatest film of all time. Beyond that, no one is ever really going to confuse Puzo or Coppola for Machiavelli or Sun Tsu. Puzo was a pulp writer (a great one), and Coppola a filmmaker. But boy, did they write some great dialogue together! If you're interested in the subject, you should pick up Machiavelli or Sun Tsu.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-05-09/john-edwards-trial/54857072/15/9/2012 Former Edwards aide discusses wife's outrageJennifer Palmieri, a former campaign spokeswoman for John Edwards testified Wednesday that his wife, Elizabeth Edwards angrily confronted a key donor, Fred Barton, in 2007, at a hotel in Iowa, about Barton's support for the pregnant mistress of the presidential candidate Edwards. Jennifer Palmieri testified the candidate, John Edwards had called her to the Davenport, Iowa, hotel room where Elizabeth Edwards was arguing with campaign finance chairman Fred Baron and his wife Lisa Blue, about the couple's financial help to John Edwards mistress, Rielle Hunter. Palmieri had become close friends with Elizabeth Edwards. John Edwards hoped Palmieri's presence could help calm the situation. That day in October of 2007, Jennifer Palmieri said Fred Baron's wife, Lisa Blue, admitted to Elizabeth Edwards that she had flown Rielle Hunter to Los Angeles for a shopping trip. Palmieri said she heard Lisa Blue explaining this to Elizabeth Edwards by saying "You've got to hold your friends close and your enemies closer."Lisa Blue also told Elizabeth Edwards that Rielle Hunter was a "loose cannon" who could have exposed the affair to the media, Palmieri testified.
"It's nothing personal, Sonny....... It's strictly business."
