“If you want to lose your faith, make friends with a priest.”

“You are responsible for all of your successes, and the lack thereof. And that is the essential point that failure, your ever-faithful friend, wants to make: that your failure could not exist without you—without your stupidity, without your lies, without your mistakes, your uselessness, your lack of faith, your ineptitude, your unjustifiable confidence in your alleged abilities, you stupid loser—failure is your only friend. Failure is your only lover. Failure is your only hope.”

“When you lose your temper, you lose a friend. When you lie, you lose yourself.”

“If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.”

“You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it”

“Do I want you to talk to me, old friend? Do I need your reminders, your wry confirmation that faith is for fools?”

“If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.”

“It’s easy to lose your reputation, it’s easy to lose your friends, to lose their confidence, than to regain it.”

“You know, Don, marriage is worth the trade. You lose all your freedom but you get this friend. This incredible friend.”

“There are fights that you may lose without losing your honor; what makes you lose your honor is not to fight.
