More quotes by Louis Armstrong
I'm a spade, you're an ofay. Let's play.
Louis Armstrong
When I go to the Gate, I'll play a duet with Gabriel. Yeah, we'll play 'Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Hello, Dolly!.' Then he can blow a couple that he's been playing up there all the time.
Louis Armstrong
Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.

All them weird chords which don't mean a thing...you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to
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
I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.
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
The best I can do is stay happy.
