“This is the truth: I’m into sales. I love deals. I’m definitely a sucker for steals.”

Punish the deed, not the breed.

My whole thing is just being a part of good music.

I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I’m from Miami, which wasn’t getting looked at at the time. Three, I’m Cuban. But now, I’ve made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.

Show the World where you’re from, show the World we are one.

The thing with me and endorsements is it’s harder for me to get endorsements because of the simple fact that I want in.

I can be a part of everything. Every movement.

It’s the true meaning of music being a universal language, constantly fighting and going through different boundaries in order for new people to hear the music and be like, “Oh, sh*t! I mess with this Pitbull kid.”

There’s no success without failure and no winning without losing.

I don’t agree when the USA, that lives by a constitution, says, OK, just because you look this way, we’re going to ask you for your documentation, or you gotta go back to your country.

Don’t be afraid to lose. Listen. And always invest in yourself.

If you look at Cuba what’s the benefit in being in Cuba? Really? It’s almost like being in prison. You can’t think. You can’t have your own opinions. You have no opportunity. You just gotta live life the way you were born into it.

I don’t wanna make hood music, I don’t wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.

I’m taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it.

I make music with no boundaries.

As far as the fans, I always say it because it’s the truth: without them I’m absolutely nothing.

Every time I reach a new audience, that means I’m doing something right.

Don’t try to change anyone, change how you deal with them.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Fear is a hard thing to deal with. I feel it quite strongly. If I think something is important enough, I’ll make myself do it in spite of fear. But it can really sap the will. I hate fear, I wish I had it less.

Just because Fate doesn’t deal you the right cards, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.

A great deal of fear is a result of just not knowing.

If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal; but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.

We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when any one engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal.

Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be cold and hungry and weary.
