More quotes by Al Capone
You accomplish more with a smile, a handshake, and a gun than you do with just a smile and a handshake.
Al Capone
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
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
Al Capone
I have built my organization upon fear.
Al Capone
Don't you get the idea I'm one of those goddam radicals. Don't get the idea I'm knocking the American system.
Al Capone

Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.
Al Capone
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
Capitalism gives all of us a great opportunity if we seize it with both hands and hang on to it.
Al Capone
I have spent the best years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.
Al Capone
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
