More quotes by 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
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race
Frank Sinatra
I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
Frank Sinatra
You are the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long. You are the breathless hush of evening that trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra
I think my greatest ambition in life is to pass on to others what I know.
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 cigarettes you light one after another won’t help you forget her.
Frank Sinatra
Deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac . . . it fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people.
Frank Sinatra
You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass.
Frank Sinatra
It took me a long, long time to learn what I now know, and I don't want that to die with me.
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
Dyin' is a pain in the ass.
Frank Sinatra
You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit.
Frank Sinatra
A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then it's too late.
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.
Frank Sinatra
And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.
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
I play to all people - all colors, all creeds ~ drunk, sober, everybody.
Frank Sinatra
Look down - look down that lonesome road Before you travel on
