When your rival is powerful, find an opportunity, create a crisis for him. Instead of taking short term advantage, save the day for him! Nothing confuses a man more than a kind gesture from his enemy; nothing renders him more vulnerable.

The United States does not torture, Douglas. Let me tell you something, this is how this works. You worry about getting the information, and I will worry on whether the information you get is helpful, OK. You focus on the job.

Today's quote has a new feature. Instead of movie quotes having a sound byte, I've decided to add a video clip instead, where possible. The resolution of the clip is enough to work well with low end DSL. I hope that with this feature, you'll be able to better understand what the quoter is trying to convey.
