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
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
When you're dead, you're done.
Louis Armstrong
I've Got the World on a String.
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
You've got to be good or as bad as the devil.
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
Don't do nothing halfway, else you find yourself dropping more than can be picked up.
Louis Armstrong
