God

Dialogue from a recent Bond movie, between a terrorist and his banker who is also the villain.

Terrorist: Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre?

Le Chiffre: No I believe in a reasonable rate of return.

Conflict

Half the problems in the world are caused by some refusing to accept that they could be wrong and that the other guy could be right.

Nice guys

Nice guys finish last. Be an asshole, a darned good one, and succeed in life.
