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...

What we play is life.
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
Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.
Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
You got to love to be able to play
