Pablo Escobar

I’m a decent man who exports flowers.

I can replace things, but I could never replace my wife and kids.

Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.

The problem is not a matter of money. The problem is a matter of dignity.

All empires are created of blood and fire.

Look, I’m not a rich person. I’m a poor person with Money.

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

You take care of me, I take care of you. You betray me, I kill you.

Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.

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.

The way, to have to be able to buy food is to survive is to grow poppy and marijuana.

When we are good, nobody remembers us. When we are bad, nobody forgets us.

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

Never regret! If it was something good, it was incredible. If it was something bad, it was an experience.

There can only be one king.

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

Give him lead!

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

May you, yours and those around you have the good and the beautiful in your favor; that next year as well as better is different, that it is yours. Embrace yours, life is today.

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

Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.
