18. “Life is one big road with lots of signs.  So when you’re 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.”- Bob Marley
    
    Here is one of my favorites:
    
    
19. “If she’s amazing she won’t be easy.  If she’s easy she won’t be amazing.  If she’s worth it, you won’t give up.  If you give up, you’re not worthy……… The truth is everybody is going to hurt you; you just have to find the ones worth suffering for.” – Bob Marley
    
    My personal favorite quote of them all though is  Marley:
20. “You may not be her first, her last, or her only.  She’s loved before, she may love again.  But if she loves you now, what else matters? 
    
    She’s not perfect, you aren’t either and the two of you may never be perfect together. 
    
    But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. 
    
    She may not be thinking of you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break; her heart. 
    
    So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. 
    
    Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” – Bob Marley
