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
Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.
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
At first it was just a misdemeanor, but then you lost the mis-de and you just got meaner and meaner.
Louis Armstrong
