It’s Love month & today’s is the release of the “One Love” Bob Marley biopic inviting us into the life and legacy of our beautiful ancestor, Bob Marley. Bob Marley was a dedicated “soldier of love” who used the power of music to spread messages of hope, justice, peace, & love that continues to be a guide for the times we are living in. In honor of Aquarius season (Bob Marley was born 6 February 1945), Black history month, Love month, & the release of his biopic, I am sharing some of my favorite quotes from the gospel of Bob Marley.

“They say love is a stream that will find its course. " - Bob Marley

“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. " - Bob Marley

"Tell the children the truth. " - Bob Marley

“Light up the darkness. " - Bob Marley

In the abundance of water a fool is thirsty. " - Bob Marley

Wisdom is better than silver and gold. " - Bob Marley

"None but ourselves can free our minds." - Bob Marley

"Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. " - Bob Marley

“If puss and dog can get together, why can’t we love one another? " - Bob Marley

"True friends are like stars; you can only recognize them when it’s dark around you. " - Bob Marley

“When the root is strong, the fruit is sweet. " - Bob Marley

"The most beautiful things are not perfect, they are special. " - Bob Marley

“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. " - Bob Marley

"Heal with loneliness, heartaches and teardrops " - Bob Marley
