Frank Sinatra

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

— Frank Sinatra

I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life -- in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice.

A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then, it's too late.

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

If you possess something but you can't give it away, then you don't possess it... it possesses you.

— Frank Sinatra

I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life – in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice.

— Frank Sinatra

I'm not unmindful of man's seeming need for faith; I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle.

— Frank Sinatra

Rock 'n Roll: The most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.

— Frank Sinatra

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.

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

Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.

— 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 treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.

— Frank Sinatra

Cock your hat - angles are attitudes.

— Frank Sinatra

For years I've nursed a secret desire to spend the Fourth of July in a double hammock with a swingin' redheaded broad … but I could never find me a double hammock.

— Frank Sinatra

Oh, I just wish someone would try to hurt you so I could kill them for you.

— Frank Sinatra

Fear is the enemy of logic.

— Frank Sinatra

I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.

— Frank Sinatra

The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything.

— Frank Sinatra

People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

— Frank Sinatra

[On religion] I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, benzedrine or a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

— Frank Sinatra

There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion, and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions.

I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest.

What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can. I've been criticized on many, many occasions, because of - acquaintances, and what have you.

— 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

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

— Frank Sinatra

I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It's not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven, The Sermon on the Mount.

For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He's the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more.

— Frank Sinatra

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

— Frank Sinatra

I am a thing of beauty.

In Hoboken, when I was a kid, I lived in a plenty tough neighborhood.

My father had a piano that was a nickelodeon - put a nickel, and the roller would play.

Our civilization, such as it is, was shaped by religion, and the men who aspire to public office anyplace in the free world must make obeisance to God or risk immediate opprobrium.
