"This American system of ours ... call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you like, gives to each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it."

"And by the way, Ive been indicted more times than Alphonse Capone. Hes the most vicious of all gangsters. If he took you to dinner and if you didnt look proper, if you laughed a little bit, he might think youre laughing at him, its dangerous to laugh – hed kill you immediately. He was indicted one time. I was indicted four times."
