Nesta Robert Marley,(6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981), commonly known as Bob Marley, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rock steady and reggae bands The Wailers (1963-1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.
Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica. His best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Get Up Stand Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-selling album, going ten times Platinum which is also known as one Diamond in the U.S. and selling 25 million copies

"Love would never leave us alone."
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

“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!”
"Conquer the devils with a little thing called love!"
“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
"To make music is a life that I have to live."
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.”
"There will never be no love at all."
“Don’t Gain The World & Lose Your Soul, Wisdom Is Better Than Silver Or Gold.”
"Don't forget your history nor your destiny"
“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!”
"say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your window. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me."
