More quotes by Louis Armstrong
Jazz is what I play for a living.
Louis Armstrong
It makes you feel good, man, makes you forget all the bad things that happen to a Negro. It makes you feel wanted, and when you're with another tea smoker, it makes you feel a special kinship.
Louis Armstrong
Don't do nothing halfway, else you find yourself dropping more than can be picked up.
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
To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question!
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
I've Got the World on a String.
Louis Armstrong
When you're dead, you're done.
Louis Armstrong
You got to love to be able to play
Louis Armstrong
Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.
Louis Armstrong
I don't let my mouth say nothin' my head can't stand.
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
We don't play slow and we don't play fast, we play half fast
Louis Armstrong
Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.
Louis Armstrong
The best I can do is stay happy.
Louis Armstrong
I'm a spade, you're an ofay. Let's play.
Louis Armstrong
There's only two ways to sum up music either it's good or it's bad. If it's good you don't mess about it, you just enjoy it.
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
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
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
