Louis Armstrong quotes

I do believe that my whole success goes back to that time I was arrested as a wayward boy at the age of thirteen. Because then I had to quit running around and began to learn something. Most of all, I began to learn music.

Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.

There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.

I had a long time admiration for the Jewish people. Especially with their long time of courage, taking so much abuse for so long. I was only seven years old, but I could easily see the ungodly treatment that the white folks were handing the poor Jewish family whom I worked for.

What we play is life.

'Cat?' 'Cat' can be anybody from the guy in the gutter to a lawyer, doctor, the biggest man to the lowest man, but if he's in there with a good heart and enjoy the same music together, he's a cat.

There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.

Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them.

Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.

Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.
