Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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.

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.

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

In most cases the best advice that can be given is just listening.

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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

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.

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.

All empires are created of blood and fire.

In most cases the best advice that can be given is just listening.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Give him lead!

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

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