More quotes by Louis Armstrong
Unless you know what it is I ain't never going to be able to explain it to you.
Louis Armstrong
White folks still in the lead.
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
I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.
Louis Armstrong
I don't let my mouth say nothin' my head can't stand.
Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
I've Got the World on a String.
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
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
There's a thing I've dreamed of all my life, and I'll be damned if it don't look like it's about to come true-to be King of the Zulu's parade. After that, I'll be ready to die.
Louis Armstrong
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question!
Louis Armstrong
We don't play slow and we don't play fast, we play half fast
Louis Armstrong
Jazz is what I play for a living.
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
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'm a spade, you're an ofay. Let's play.
Louis Armstrong
It's getting almost so bad a colored man hasn't got any country.
Louis Armstrong
A lot of the musicians asked me if when I hit my high-Cs on the records I had a clarinet take the notes. Some [thought] I had invented some kind of gadget so I could play high register. They weren't satisfied until they handed me a trumpet that they had with them and had me swing it. Then they cheered.
Louis Armstrong
The best I can do is stay happy.
Louis Armstrong
