More quotes by Louis Armstrong
When you're dead, you're done.
Louis Armstrong
You see, pops, that's the kind of talk that's ruining the music. Everyone's trying to do something new, no one trying to learn the fundamentals first. All them young cats playing their wierd chords. And what happens? No one's working.
Louis Armstrong
We don't play slow and we don't play fast, we play half fast
Louis Armstrong
All them weird chords which don't mean a thing...you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to
Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
Louis Armstrong
You got to love to be able to play
Louis Armstrong
You blows who you is.
Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white. The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong
At first it was just a misdemeanor, but then you lost the mis-de and you just got meaner and meaner.
Louis Armstrong
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans. When that's where you left your heart. The moonlight on the bayou a creole tune that fills the air. I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there.
Louis Armstrong
There are Two Secrets to Success: 1. Don't tell ANYONE Everything you know 2.If you have to ask what Jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
Red beans and ricely yours.
Louis Armstrong
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
I've Got the World on a String.
Louis Armstrong
Seems to me, it aint the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance. Love baby, love. That's the secret...
Louis Armstrong
It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend.
Louis Armstrong
As many bands as you heard [in New Orleans], that's how many bands you heard playing right. I thought I was in Heaven playing second trumpet in the Tuxedo Brass Band -- and they had some funeral marches that would just touch your heart, they were so beautiful.
Louis Armstrong
