9. "She may not be the most popular or prettiest, but if you love her and makes you smile...what else matters?"

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

11. "Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments  life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.  

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.  Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel that you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself nad make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

 The things that seem insignificant to most people such as note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid, it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of your daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. 

A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence there is no need for continous conversation,  but you find that you're quite content in having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know that they are important to this person who is so special to you. 

You think of this person in every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there is  a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. 

 You find out that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real that it scares you. You find  strength knowing that you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different,  exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

12. "He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he is not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy,  yell when he makes you mad and miss him when he is not there.  Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist,  but there's always one guy who is perfect for you."


13. Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong,

By the 'and of the Almighty.

We forward in this generation,

Triumphantly.

Won't you help to sing

These redemption songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look? Ooh

Some say it's just a part of it:

We've got to fulfill the book -  Bob Marley.
