Trumpet players see each other, and it's like we're getting ready to square off or get into a fight or something.
Wynton Marsalis
Image
Trumpet players are just belligerant, and cocky, and you know, just hard-headed.
Wynton Marsalis
Image
The voice of the special rebels and prophets, recommending discontent, should, as I have said, sound now and then suddenly, like a trumpet. But the voices of the saints and sages, recommending contentment, should sound unceasingly, like the sea.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
"Other friends have said, ""I don't understand why you've used this trumpet-style sound rather than a real one when you know you can write for trumpet."" But it's most important to get the energy right."
Anna Meredith
Image
I didn't ask my mother to buy me a trumpet or a violin, I started right on the water hose.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk

What [Louis Armstrong] does is real, and true, and honest, and simple, and even noble. Every time this man puts his trumpet to his lips, even if only to practice three notes, he does it with his whole soul.
Leonard Bernstein
Image
There may be no trumpet sound or loud applause when we make a right decision, just a calm sense of resolution and peace.
Gloria Gaither
Image
The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet.
Benjamin Cardozo
Image
Sometimes it's an external approach where one can learn the skills required, let's say, learn to play the trumpet and in that process other things happen. It's magical: through the process of practicing four hours a day you start focusing on emotion and when you pick up the trumpet it's filled with feeling.
Richard Gere

I am absolutely desperate to do an action movie. And not to blow my own trumpet or anything, but I actually think I'm good at it. I did it all. I was really into the routines and the choreography. I used to dance when I was younger, and so I think that came in handy.
Lily James

The motives and purposes of authors are not always so pure and high, as, in the enthusiasm of youth, we sometimes imagine. To many the trumpet of fame is nothing but a tin horn to call them home, like laborers from, the field, at dinner-time, and they think themselves lucky to get the dinner.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.
Bill Frisell
Image
I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello.
Roger Bannister
Image
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
Image
The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.
Herb Alpert
Image
I played trumpet in middle school, and then I had to get braces, so I had to stop playing trumpet and start playing drums.
Brendon Urie
Image
I played trumpet in school once because I joined band because a cute boy played trumpet too. And I was really bad at trumpet.
Skylar Grey
Image
I think Donald Trump is a master of moving on from losses when he suffered them, and if he can`t find a way in the short term to get the wall paid for by Mexico, I think he`ll Trumpet the fact that the wall is being built.
Mark Halperin

Until mankind heeds the message on the Hebrew trumpet blown, and the faith of the whole world's people is the faith that is our own.
Israel Zangwill
Image
The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
Charles Dickens
Image
Instead of the metaphor of scales in balance, I prefer the idea of a jazz quartet: you're trying to make music that feels and sounds good, and sometimes you only hear the trumpet or just the bass and piano. Sometimes all four are playing at the same time, but perhaps at different volume.
Stewart D. Friedman
Image
Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds the graves restore, The dead which they contained before Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
Martin Luther
Image
So I had a couple of years of playing trumpet. I really enjoyed it, but it was not the kind of instrument you could whip out at a party. Let's face it.
Jackson Browne

It's a good habit to trumpet your failures and be quiet about your successes.
