More quotes by Al Capone
This American system of ours,call it Americanism,call it capitalism,call it what you will,gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we seize it with both hands and make the most of it.
Al Capone
I would rather be rich affluent and greedy and go to hell when I die, than live in poverty on this earth.
Al Capone
I've lost a million and a half on the horses and dice in the last two years. And the funny part is, I still like 'em, and if someone handed me another million I'd put it right in the nose of some horse that looked good to me.
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
Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.
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
Public service is my motto.
Al Capone
When I sell liquor, it's bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on a silver tray on Lakeshore Drive, it's hospitality.
Al Capone
Vote early and vote often.
Al Capone
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
Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.
Al Capone
You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.
Al Capone
Once in the racket you're always in it.
Al Capone
Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out.
Al Capone
I am like any other man. All I do is supply a demand.
Al Capone
I've been accused of every death except the casualty list of the World War.
Al Capone
It's a racket. Those stock market guys are crooked.
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
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.'
Al Capone
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
