There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. “Live for yourself and you will live in vain Live for others, and you will live again.„Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. “Better to die fighting for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of your life.” If I was educated I would be a damn fool.” So that’s why I’m scared when you say you love me.” You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining.

“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.” Therefore, we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. “The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give.

He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.” “The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. “Who 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!” Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. So when you’re riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind.

“Life is one big road with lots of signs. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?” … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively” “Don’t gain the world and lose your soul wisdom is better than silver or fold.” Through them, he spoke out about important things that should concern us all, such as inequality, corruption, racism, violence, greed, and all these amidst violent political upheaval in Jamaica during the 1970’s.īelow you’ll find a short collection of my favorite quotes, lyrics and poems by Bob Marley.
