Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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

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.

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

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

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

Freedom is very nice.

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

There can only be one king.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Rich one who is sastifed with what God gives him.

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

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.

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.

Never talk much about yourself to people, in times of envy, the blind man sees again, the mute to speak and deaf to hear.

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