"Even when it's bad, keep smiling"
"If you get the whole world but lose your soul, it's not worth it"

"The best curve on a woman's body is her smile"
“If she's amazing, she won't be available. If she's available, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up on her. And if you refuse, you are not worthy. In fact, any person will hurt you; you just have to find those who are worth it"
"Perfect people do not exist, but there is always one that is perfect for you"
“You can be her not the first, not the last and not the only one. She loved before she loved again. But if she loves you now, what else is wrong? She's not perfect, but neither are you, and the two of you will never be perfect together. But if she makes you laugh, all the more think twice if she gives you the opportunity to be human, make mistakes, hold on to her and give her everything you can. She may not think about you every second of the day, but she can give you a piece of herself because she knows you can break her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect anything from her that is beyond her capabilities. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you angry, and miss her when she's not around."
Bob Marley performing at Dalimount Park, 1980

Words have great power, that's a fact. They can hurt, they can uplift, they can destroy. Sometimes it seems that words are all that humanity has, because it is by them that the result of our existence is measured. Not everyone understands their power and greatness, but who understands, learns to use it. At all times there were people who towered over the crowd with the help of words, carried their ideas and values due to the fact that they could light someone's heart and make the soul accept a new one. Political leaders, poets, musicians - all of them, like no one else, mastered the word and through their activities changed the minds of people, influencing their perception of the world.
Many phrases from their speeches became winged, and lines from songs and poems were increasingly repeated like a mantra. Among all this, there is a niche occupied by the statements of Bob Marley - the eternal musician and composer.
Bob Marley - who is he?
Many have heard the name Bob Marley, but few know who he was and what he did. He was born in Jamaica, in a European family. He saw his father only twice in his life, because he died when little Bob was ten years old. He spent his childhood being part of a movement called "rude-boys", which was rather rude to the world and with contempt for dangers.
He was a musician at heart: practicing his playing skills at night, he worked as a welder during the day.
Bob Marley's environment changed frequently. Some were nearby, created a group, kept a burden of unfulfilled desires, others came and went, forgetting about dreams.
The sayings of Bob Marley have great power, because, interpreting them, everyone finds their own truth. This man has long been dead, but it is with him, with his image, that reggae music is associated, and it was he who gave her life outside of Jamaica.
Bob Marley quotes about life
Bob Marley saw life in his own way, trying to cross out all its shortcomings and enjoy every day. He believed that although fate had written its own path for everyone, it can and should be changed, directed where the goals lead. Bob Marley's statements are valuable because they make people think, open their eyes to the happiness that is already in front of their noses. After all, "some people feel the rain, and some only get wet."
He believed in himself, believed in what he did, and did not pay attention to the limits set by society. Bob Marley said that if he had an education, then most likely he would be a fool, and if there is inspiration, then education is not needed. He tried to bring joy to the world, because for him despondency and quarrels were the path followed by those who pray to the devil. Therefore, he closed his eyes to the black stripes, and therefore his phrases are pure and deep. Bob Marley expressed the most important truth in the form of his last words. They sounded like this: "Money cannot buy life."
Bob Marley about love
Love is the brightest feeling that fills all the holes from life's problems. This is what Bob Marley often turned to for inspiration. Sayings about love occupy a large part of his legacy. He believed that the quarrels and personal war of the couple are things that should not be. Indeed, to love truly is to live in harmony and peace: “If even a cat and a dog can live in harmony, why can’t we love each other?”
In love, he saw the light and in it he found the final station. People with each stage learn something new, find values and goals for themselves, and the last of them is to unite all people together. Bob Marley knew that the only way to achieve this was through love.
Bob Marley's words about women
Among all the women on the planet, there was one who owned Bob Marley.
Sayings about the women of the king of reggae make you think about what really holds a relationship, what binds two people together. He turned a blind eye to all the shortcomings of life, but he did not deny that any person can hurt. The main task of a woman is to find someone who will be worthy of this suffering. "Love is hard when it's love."
Bob Marley said that there are no perfect people in the world and never will be, but if there is a person who can make you laugh, allows you to be yourself, gives you a reason to make mistakes and think, you should grab onto him and give everything you can in return. You need to give free rein to emotions: smile when a man brings happiness to life, scream when he can enrage, and be madly bored when he does not touch your hand.
Relationships are when each gives the other a part of himself, which he can torment and destroy. That is why you should not hurt, try to change something, or wait for more than your partner can give you.
Bob Marley quotes about music
For Bob Marley, music was air and earth, a source of strength and an integral part of his existence. He saw his future in her and said that sometimes you have to fight with the help of music.
Marley saw beauty in her, created this beauty and wanted to spread it among people. After all, music is good because "when it hits you, you don't feel pain." It is her quality - to touch the living, but not to become torment - that made music the future in the eyes of Bob Marley. He believed that thanks to her, the world could get rid of evil, hatred and racism.
The madmen who try to make this world a worse place never rest. How can I?
Time does not change a person, wisdom does not change a person, and the only thing that can rebuild the structure of his thoughts and feelings is love.
Money cannot buy life.
Your joy does not mean that the day is beautiful - you just forgot about its shortcomings for a while.
We can be light as a feather or heavy as lead, and we can choose for ourselves: we live in hell or heaven, we sing with the angels or we dance
To create a family, it is enough to fall in love. And to save - you need to learn to endure and forgive.

Bob Marley
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She "s not perfect - you aren"t 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 about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows 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.
