Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.
Al Capone
Image
I'm a kind person, I'm kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me, then kindness is not what you'll remember me for
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 am just a businessman, giving the people what they want.
Al Capone

In this life all that I have is my word and my balls and I do not break them for nobody.

All I ever did was supply a demand that was pretty popular.
Al Capone
Image
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
Image
It's a racket. Those stock market guys are crooked.
Al Capone
Image
They've hung everything on me except the Chicago fire.
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.

Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out.

Prohibition has made nothing but trouble

A smile can get you far, but a smile with a gun can get you further.
