Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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.

Rich one who is sastifed with what God gives him.

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

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.

Freedom is very nice.

Not even the Devil can call a woman “Slut” if he is not able to make her fall in love.

Sometimes I feel like God, when I order someone killed – they die the same day.

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.

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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.

Loyalty, honor and respect are words that forget ordinary people.

I’m a decent man who exports flowers.

You should never feel better than others, even the rain that comes from the top ends falling always at our feet.

It doesn’t matter how many times you feel trapped. There is always a way out. Don’t give up.

In most cases the best advice that can be given is just listening.

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

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.

Series about narcos have turned my father (Pablo Escobar) into a hero and given young people the idea that it is cool to be a drug trafficker.

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 can only be one king.

Everyone has a price, the important thing is to find out what it is.
