Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

Freedom is very nice.

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

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

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

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

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

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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

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

Freedom is very nice.

It’s a reality that drugs destroy. Unfortunately where I grew up, there’s no other way to survive.

There can only be one king.

It’s rude to talk with an empty head.

Give him lead!

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.

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.

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

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

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

Women can be quiet, heartfelt or angry, but you will never see them defeated.

Don’t carry a gun. It’s nice to have them close by, but don’t carry them. You might get arrested.
