Bob Marley would be 70 years old if he was around these days.

The reggae pioneer was an inspiration as a musician, poet and peace advocate. In honor of Marley’s legacy, here are our seven favorite quotes from the man himself:

• “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.”
• “Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.”
• “Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.”
• “Light up the darkness.”
• “Though the road’s been rocky, it sure feels good to be me.”
• “Don’t worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright.”
• “One love, one heart, one destiny.”

Happy birthday, Bob Marley.
