Pablo Escobar

I’m a decent man who exports flowers.

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

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.

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

I can replace things, but I could never replace my wife and kids.

I prefer to be in the grave in Colombia than in a jail cell in the United States.

All empires are created of blood and fire.

It’s rude to talk with an empty head.

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

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.

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.

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

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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