More quotes by Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra
If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors.
Frank Sinatra
Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.
Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra
I've always had a theory that whenever guys and gals start swinging, they begin to lose interest in conquering the world. They just want a comfortable pad and stereo and wheels, and their thoughts turn to the good things of life - not to war. They loosen up, they live and they're more apt to let live.
Frank Sinatra
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
Frank Sinatra
You better get busy living, because dying's a pain in the ass.
Frank Sinatra
The best revenge is the massive success.
Frank Sinatra
And if you should survive to 105 Look at all you'll derive out of being alive. Then here is the best part You have a head start If you are among the very young at heart.
Frank Sinatra
You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.
Frank Sinatra
I think my greatest ambition in life is to pass on to others what I know.
Frank Sinatra
If power doesn't mean that you have the opportunity to work with the people that you love , then you haven't really got any.
Frank Sinatra
Critics don't bother me because if I do badly, I know I'm bad before they even write it. And if I'm good, I know I'm good. I know best about myself, so a critic doesn't anger me.
Frank Sinatra
You can be the most artistically perfect performer in the world, but an audience is like a broad - if you're indifferent, Endsville.
