Words of wisdom from the great Robert Duvall. One of the finest actors that is still going strong in American cinematic history. I loved Mr. Duvall's quotes, but the one that hit me the most was, "Not every successful man is a good father, but every good father is a successful man." There is much truth to that statement.
