Frank Sinatra Quotes

~ I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.

~ Nothing anybody’s said or written about me ever bothers me, except when it does.

~ Rock ‘n’ roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written, for the most part, by cretinous goons.

~ No man’s lifetime of work has better expressed the land of the free and the home of the brave. No man’s lifetime of work has given proof to the world that our flag is still there. John Wayne is in truth a star-spangled man whom so proudly we hail.

~ I’m for decency — period. I’m for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday — cash me out.

~ Fear is the enemy of logic. There is no more debilitating, crushing, self-defeating, sickening thing in the world–to an individual or to a nation.
