Quotes Ti prego di essere calmo e retto, corretto e coerente, sappia approfittare l'esperienza delle esperienze sofferte, non screditare tutto quello che ti dicono, cerca sempre la verità prima di parlare, e ricordati che non basta mai avere una prova per affrontare un ragionamento. Per essere certo in un ragionamento occorrono tre prove, e correttezza e coerenza. Vi benedica il Signore e vi protegga. [In July 1994] Please remain calm and upright, fair and consistent; learn to draw on the lessons of your painful experiences; do not dismiss everything you are told; always seek the truth before speaking; and remember that a single piece of evidence is never enough to support an argument. To be certain of an argument, you need three pieces of evidence, as well as fairness and consistency. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe. Quoted in Giancarlo De Cataldo, Romanzo criminale, Einaudi, 2002, p. 3. ISBN 978-88-06-16096-8. Quotes about Riina e Provenzano sono due pecorai, perché stavano sotto gli ordini dei politici.
