Even though Bob Marley died in 1981, his music lives on. He is one of the few artists that have acquired legendary status and is recognised as one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.

His lifestyle and religion was Rastafarianism and the tenets came through in his music. His socially conscious and sometimes politically expressive lyrics resonate and are still relevant today.

Influenced by his religion, no doubt, he had strong opinions about money and its pursuit. Picked from some of his songs and from interviews, here are 10 Bob Marley quotes about money to meditate on and hopefully inspire.

''Some people are so poor, all they have is money."

"The day you stop racing, is the day you win the race."


"Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end."


“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.”

“Money can’t buy life."

“Better to die fighting for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of your life.”


“Don’t trust people whose feelings change with time. Trust people whose feelings remain the same, even when the time changes.”

“Live for yourself and you will live in vain; live for others, and you will live again.”



"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?"


"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."
