Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

— Bob Marley - Legend
If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
— Guitar Chord Songbook - Bob Marley
One love, one heart, one destiny.
There will never be no love at all.
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!
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.
