Image
When I sell liquor, it's bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on a silver tray on Lakeshore Drive, it's hospitality.
Al Capone
Image
I am going to St. Petersburg, Florida, tomorrow. Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can. I'm sick of the job-it's a thankless one and full of grief. I've been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor.
Al Capone
Image
I am just a businessman, giving the people what they want.
Al Capone
Image
Once in the racket you're always in it.
Al Capone

A smile can get you far, but a smile with a gun can get you further.
Al Capone
Image
I would rather be rich affluent and greedy and go to hell when I die, than live in poverty on this earth.

Every time a boy falls off a tricycle, every time a black cat has gray kittens, every time someone stubs a toe, every time there's a murder or a fire or the marines land in Nicaragua, the police and the newspapers holler 'get Capone.'

In this life all that I have is my word and my balls and I do not break them for nobody.
Al Capone
Image
Some call it bootlegging. Some call it racketeering. I call it a business.
Al Capone
Image
I am sick and tired of publicity. I want no more of it. It puts me in a bad light. I just want to be forgotten.
Al Capone
Image
Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.
Al Capone
Image
We been on the road for 18 hours... I need a bath, some chow... and then you and me sit down, and we talk about who dies,eh?
Al Capone
Image
Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.
Al Capone
Image
Bolshevism is knocking at our gates, we can't afford to let it in...We must keep America whole and safe and unspoiled. We must keep the worker away from red literature and red ruses we must see that his mind remains healthy.
Al Capone
Image
I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job.
Al Capone
Image
I have built my organization upon fear.
Al Capone
Image
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
Al Capone
Image
It's a racket. Those stock market guys are crooked.
Al Capone
Image
They've hung everything on me except the Chicago fire.
