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.

Frank Sinatra

There have been many accolades uttered about Elvis’ talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree with wholeheartedly. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man.

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.

Trouble just seems to come my way-unbidden, unwelcome, unneeded.

Way down among Brazilians. Coffee beans grow by the billions. So they’ve got to find those extra cups to fill. They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.

Frank Sinatra

What is the point of singing wonderful lyrics if the audience can’t understand what is being said or heard?

Frank Sinatra

When lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday, cash me out.

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

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

You gotta love livin’, baby, ’cause dyin’ is a pain in the ass.
