Giovanni Falcone

“One can very well have a mafia mentality without being a criminal.”

“The Mafia is not at all invincible; it is a human phenomenon and like all human phenomena it has a beginning and will also have an end.”

“For a society to do well... it is enough that everyone does their duty.”

“I believe that each of us should be judged for what he has done. Actions count, not words.”

“He who is silent and bows his head dies every time he does so. He who speaks aloud and walks with his head held high dies only once.”

“Men pass away, but their ideas remain. Their moral tensions remain and will continue to walk on the legs of other men.”

“There are things you don't do for courage, you do them only to be able to look more serenely into the eyes of your children and your children's children.”

“A certain person has defined me as a hero. I'm not. I'm just a servant of the State in a 'terra infidelium'.”
