Reel Life Wisdom - Robert Duvall

“A man’s trust is a valuable thing, Button. You don’t want to lose it over a handful of cards.”

“Sometimes, the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power, mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love, true love, never dies. You remember that, boy. Doesn’t matter if they are true or not. A man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in.”

“There is absolutely no place in a courtroom for pride.”

“There’s no smoking section in heaven.”

“Well, you're in management now. If everybody loved you, you'd be doing something wrong.”

“If you want only one thing too much, it’s likely to turn out a disappointment. The only healthy way to live, as I see it, is to learn to like all the little everyday things.”

“The older the violin, the sweeter the music.”

“Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.”

“I'm just trying to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less.”
