Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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

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

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.

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.

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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

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

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

Drug trafficking destroyed my family. It gave us the world, and then it took it away.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Rich one who is sastifed with what God gives him.

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

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

All empires are created of blood and fire.
