Mission
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can
stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.
Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side, not
the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and
cause me to come from black and white.
Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like
to see happen. I like to see
mankind live together ‒ black, white,
Chinese, everyone ‒ that's all.
Me is a common sense man. That mean when me explain things, me explain
it in a very
simple way; that mean if I explain it to a baby, the baby will
understand too, you know.
Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.
My future is righteousness.
The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the
day off. Why should I?
I've been here before and will
come again, but I'm not going this trip through.
You are not supposed to feel down over
whatever happen to you. I mean, you're supposed to use whatever
happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.
Everything is political. I will never be a
politician or even think
political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing
to me.
The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.
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.
Tell the children the truth.
If you get down and quarell everyday, you're saying prayers to the
devil, I say.
I don't know how to live good. I only know how to suffer.
Just because you are
happy it does not mean that the day is perfect but that you have
looked beyond its imperfections.
Beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but its
everything in between that makes it all worth living.
When one door is closed, don't you
know that many more are open?
Fight
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only
choice you have.
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.
Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't
give up the fight.
The devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake
hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good
friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he
can mosh you down.
If you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black
and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue,
pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules
where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and
redemption now.
As a man sow, shall he reap. and I know that talk is cheap. But the
heat of the battle is as sweet as the
victory.
The day you stop racing, is the day you
win the race.
You can't find the right roads when
the streets are paved.
Dennis Kotelnikov
as Bob Marley
" ...a
Jamaican associate,
Ikrimah,
who made Dennis' family "honorary Jamaicans" and who
knew members of Marley's family" and thought a few of
his children at Summer school in Jamaica.
"It is he
who helped Dennis by clarifying the concept of Bob
Bob Marley,
interpreted a few of Bob's songs which Dennis has
interpreted in this image for his student play at
Shchukin Theatre Institute
in 2009 ...."
Thanks to Bob
Marley for his inspiration, thanks to his family for
their continuous contribution and for the Bob Marley
Foundation and all entities and individuals associated
with Marley, his work and his family for keeping his
memory and international contribution alive and for
sharing him with the world
My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me
know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
People want to listen to a message, word from Jah. This could be passed
through me or anybody. I am not a leader. Messenger. The words of the
songs, not the person, is what attracts people.
My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.
I no have education. I have
inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Love
Smile when she makes you
happy, let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she’s not there.
She may not be the most popular or prettiest, but if you love her
and she makes you smile.. what else matters?
Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones
worth suffering for.
You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say
you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love
wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that’s why I’m scared
when you say you love me.
What important is man should live in righteousness, in natural
love for mankind.
