/ Bob Marley /
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold."
Robert Nesta Marley was a Jamaican singer, songwriter, and visionary who became a global symbol of peace, resistance, and spiritual truth. Through his music, he carried the voice of the oppressed, weaving together faith, love, and the call for freedom. Born in Nine Mile, Jamaica, Marley rose from humble beginnings to ignite a worldwide movement through reggae — a rhythm that carried both pain and hope. His lyrics were not merely songs but scriptures of the human spirit, warning against the illusion of wealth and the corruption of the soul. To him, wisdom and inner light were the truest riches, for they could not be bought or lost. His message still echoes in every corner of the world where hearts long for unity and truth.
