Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.
Frank Sinatra
The only male singer who I've seen besides myself and who's better than me--that is Michael Jackson.
Frank Sinatra
The reading of the song is vital. The written word is first always . . . first. Not belittling the music, but it really is a backdrop. To convey the meaning of a song you need to look at the lyric and understand it.
Frank Sinatra
Las Vegas is the only place I know where money really talks--it says, Goodbye.
Frank Sinatra
There are several things I think I would have done if I had the chance again. I would have been a little more patient about getting out into the world. I would have seen to it that I had a more formal education. I would have become an accomplished mu

Now there's a grown-up swinging town.
Frank Sinatra
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
Frank Sinatra
What is the point of singing wonderful lyrics if the audience can't understand what is being said or heard?
Frank Sinatra

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
Stay alive, stay active, and get as much practice as you can.
Frank Sinatra
I don't know what other singers feel when they articulate lyrics, but being an 18-karat manic-depressive and having lived a life of violent emotional contradictions, I have an overacute capacity for sadness as well as elation.
Frank Sinatra
A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then it's too late.
Frank Sinatra
If I had done everything I'm credited with, I'd be speaking to you from a laboratory jar at Harvard.
Frank Sinatra
Rock 'n roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons and by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration and sly, lewd, in plain fact, dirty lyrics ... manages to be the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth.
Frank Sinatra
The best revenge is the massive success.
Frank Sinatra
To me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line.
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
Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
Frank Sinatra
For what is a man, what has he got. If not himself, then he has naught.
Frank Sinatra
Don’t hide your scars. They make you who you are
