The most beautiful woman is the one who is never divulging, she knows what she is and everything else is worth her.

Unfortunately… where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive, no way to work in our economy.

The ungrateful and mediocre people do not care if you do a thousand favors, in the end they get angry for the f**king favor you did not do them.

In this life you have to learn to get up because the road is full of stones.

There is a big difference between surrendering and knowing that enough was enough.

I am who I am. I like what I like. I do what I want. It’s my life, not yours.

Reconciliation is not usually part of a Colombian’s vocabulary.

Never talk much about yourself to people, in times of envy, the blind man sees again, the mute to speak and deaf to hear.

I know one day I will die. I hope it’s of natural causes.

I remember from the time I was six until now, my parents, a very humble family, very poor, I remember how my mom made bread to support the family. I would sell it, I sold oranges, I sold soft drinks, I sold candy. My mom, she was a hard worker, she worked a lot. We grew corn, beans. I took care of my grandmother’s cattle and chopped wood.

Envy and betrayal do not sleep, they are two things that always go hand in hand.

Unfortunately… where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive, no way to work in our economy.

It’s rude to talk with an empty head.

The ungrateful and mediocre people do not care if you do a thousand favors, in the end they get angry for the f**king favor you did not do them.

Only those who went hungry with me and stood by me when I went through a bad time at some point in life will eat at my table.

Rich one who is sastifed with what God gives him.

I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks, and boats.

There are two hundred million idiots, manipulated by a million intelligent men.

Well, from the time I was 15 and after, where I come from, which is the municipality of Badiraguato, I was raised in a ranch named La Tuna, in that area, and up until today, there are no job opportunities. The only way to have money to buy food, to survive, is to grow poppy, marijuana, and at that age, I began to grow it, to cultivate it and to sell it. That is what I can tell you.
