Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

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

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.

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

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

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

All I do is defend myself. Nothing more.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Give him lead!

Freedom is very nice.

I’m a decent man who exports flowers.

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

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

I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks, and boats.

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

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

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

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