Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.
Bob MarleyEveryone in life is gonna hurt you, you just have to figure out which people are worth the pain.
Bob MarleyWho are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!
Bob MarleyI'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood, But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places. So while they fight you down, Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises. 'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified by the laws of men - by the laws of men. Oh, true they have found me guilty, But through - through Jah proved my innocency.
Bob MarleyMy life nah important to me, but other people life important. My life is only important if me can help plenty people. If my life is just for me and my own security then me no want it. My life is for people. That's way me is.
Bob MarleySet it up in Zimbabwe, Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny, And in this judgment there is no partiality. So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle, 'Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble.
Bob MarleyMe never believe in marriage that muchmarriage is a trap to control me; woman is a coward. Man strong.
Bob MarleyThis music is about struggle. Reggae is a vehicle to carry a message of freedom and peace.
Bob MarleyMe don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side, not the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.
Bob MarleyI went deep inside myself. I had time to explore my beliefs and because of that I'm stronger. Bob Marley (March 1981)

Bob MarleyThe devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.
Bob MarleyIt's your own conscience That is gonna remind you That it's your heart and nobody else's That is gonna judge.
Bob MarleyOne of my good friends said, in a reggae riddim, don't jump in the water if you can't swim.
Bob MarleyWhen You smoke herb it reveals you to yourself. All the wickedness you do is revealed by the herb - it's you conscience and gives you an honest picture of yourself.
Bob MarleyAlcohol make you drunk, man. It don't make you meditate, it just make you drunk. Herb is more a consciousness.

Bob MarleyThe bars could not hold me. Force could not control me. They tried to keep me down, but Jah put I around. Yes, I've been accused. Wrongly abused. But through the powers of the Most High, they've got to turn me loose.
Bob MarleyThe best herb I smoke in Jamaica and Africa. African - Rasclot! Them people cure it in a banana. In a banana skin. A green banana. They wrap it up in a banana so when you get it, it compressed and, I'll tell you, it great! Blood clot! In Nigeria and Ghana, love that herb! Good herb, mon.
Bob MarleyWhy these people who want to do so much good for everyone, who call themselves government and this and that, why them say you must not use the herb? You see, them say you must not use the herb because it makes you a rebel. Against what?
Bob MarleyHave pity on those whose chances grow thinner, there ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.
Bob Marley
