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.

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.'

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.

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.

My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
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.

Don't you get the idea I'm one of those goddam radicals. Don't get the idea I'm knocking the American system.

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

I am just a businessman, giving the people what they want.

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.
