Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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.

It’s rude to talk with an empty head.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Give him lead!

Don’t carry a gun. It’s nice to have them close by, but don’t carry them. You might get arrested.

Freedom is very nice.

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.

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

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.

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

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