“It is only the truth that can make a man free, it is only the truth that can make a man live.”

What the Rastaman represents is positivity.

It can be beautiful, if you just be yourself.

I am good. I live good. I think good. I don’t have to feel good to be good, I take my goodness wherever I go.

I’m on my way to happiness, where I can find some peace and rest.

Reggae must be lived, not played. It is a lifebeat everytime.

I am not a politician. I only suffer the consequences.

My songs is hard stuff which politicians don’t want on them radio station because they still want people to live in ignorancy.

I mean the flesh, never fade! The flesh never leave the creation, see, because with that divine spirit the flesh cannot fade. If the spirit is weak then the flesh fade, seen?

My earthly parents don’t know my potential or my divine qualities. They weren’t taught how to diagnose or be aware of such things.

Me is what them call illegitimate, that mean say me is a criminal, bomba rassclaat! That’s why me go write a song called ‘Illegitimate Children.’ It took me years to find out I was one.

People go to school and get educated, but most people who go to school and become a graduate in eduation still don’t know what the word ‘education’ means. ‘Educo’ means to bring out.

I was taught that Jesus the Son of God was a white man, and hearing black people singing, ‘Lord, wash me, and I will be whiter than snow,’ made me sick.

Soon the earth will tilt on its axis and begin to dance to the reggae beat to the accompaniment of earthquake.

I’ve got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again.

People are beginning to recognize reggae music, and know it’s a very powerful music, and researchers have been researching and coming up with reports that it’s a great music, a healing music.

My job is to be the constructive awakener of the black masses of the world so them know themself and others know what black people suppose to be and where.

Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude.

Allow yourself to transform as many times as you need to be truly free

Men are mistaken in thinking themselves free; their opinion is made up of consciousness of their own actions, and ignorance of the causes by which they are determined.

Expectations are the mental prison. Free your mind with no expectations.

For a people is only as great, as free, as lofty, as advanced as its women are free, noble and progressive.

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom.
