Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

I may not be the President of Mexico, but in Mexico I’m the boss.

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.

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

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

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

I may not be the President of Mexico, but in Mexico I’m the boss.

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 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.

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

Rich one who is sastifed with what God gives him.

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.

It’s rude to talk with an empty head.

There can only be one king.

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