"People want to listen to a message, word from Jah. This could be passed through me or anybody. I am not a leader....The word of the songs, not the person, is what attracts people. "
" The stone that the builder refused, will always be the head cornerstone. "
" To make music is a life that I have to live. "
" Most people think great god will come from the sky. "
" Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen. "
" My father was white and mother was black. Then call me half-caste or what ever. I don't dip on nobody's side. I dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white. "
" The stone that the builder refused to lay should always be the head corners stone, You're a builder baby' here I am a stone. "
" The biggest man you ever did see was once a baby. "
" Judge not, Before you judge yourself. Judge not, If you're not ready for the Judgement. "
" Don't worry about a thing, Every little thing is gonna be Alright. "

" Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many wait to tell them about it, Knowing they will share in your experiment.
They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. 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. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.
You can yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of a daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowledge you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life. "

" Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living? "
" Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. "
" Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life. "
" Though the road's been rocky. It sure feels good to me. "
" When one door is closed, many more is open. "
" My music will go on forever. Maybe it is a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever. "
" Excuse me while I light my spiff, Good god, I gotta take a lift. "
" You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry. "
" You can fool people some times but you cant fool all the people all the time. "
" He [ Bob Marley ] had this idea , it was kind of a virologist idea, he believed he could cure racism and hate, Literally cure it by injecting music and love into people's lives, One day he was scheduled to perform at a peace concert, gunmen came to his house and shot him down.

" He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to begin human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote property he isn't thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give, Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, Yel when he makes you mad, and miss him when he isn't there. 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. "
" You say you love rain, but you see an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it comes you close your window. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me. "
" You may not not be her first, her last or her only. She's loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect, you are not either and the two of you may never be perfect together. But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking of you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she know's you can break: her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there. "
