When it comes to cool guys, there have been many, but Frank Sinatra reigns supreme as the coolest of the cool. To say he was a man’s man is an understatement. Sinatra embodied qualities that every man in the world should have. He believed in family, friends, and respect. Besides those admirable beliefs, he lived a life that any man would love to life filled with booze, money, and let’s not forget, women. But even more interesting than his affairs with women like Marilyn Monroe are those legendary stories about Frank most of which are true, such as his playing a huge role in getting JFK elected president and rubbing elbows with some of the biggest underworld figures in history including Lucky Luciano and Carlo Gambino. Frank Sinatra is the guy that every man wants to be like and every woman wants to be with. With that said it’s only right we look at the words of the Chairman of the Board and try a thing or two. Here are ten quotes from Sinatra that every man can take something from. Oh, and they also happen to be very cool as was Sinatra’s style.
“You gotta love livin’ baby, ‘cause dyin’ is a pain in the ass.”
“Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy but the Bible says to love your enemy.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Basically, I’m for anything that gets you through the night-be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniels.”
“I like intelligent women. When you go out it shouldn’t be a staring contest.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 can ask for anything more than that, actually.”
“The best revenge is massive success.”
