Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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

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

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

All empires are created of blood and fire.

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

Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.

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.

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

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.
