“I wish you wouldn't make the strings such an important part of your arrangements because frankly they're only a tax dodge!”
Tommy Dorsey
“I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.”
Frank Zappa
“Frank was the most intense ballplayer I've ever seen. He played the game as hard as anybody. He never, ever gave up on an at-bat no matter what the score was. He'd get a big hit. He went into the stands in New York to make a catch. But what's important is, he did these things every day.”
Earl Weaver
“Gallop's frankness has set a new standard in Australia about these issues. It shows that depression can affect anyone at all, no matter what walk of life you are from.”
Ian Hickie
“Is there still a sign on [Route] 360 that says Frank D. Fixer?”
Jason Mraz
“Frankly, I don't want to see a rapid upturn. I want it to hold until some of these idiotic competitors go bust.”
Ovid
“We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.”
Andre Maurois
“And wherefore do you want to be immortal? you ask me, wherefore? Frankly, I do not understand the question, for it is to ask the reason of the reason, the end of the end, the principle of the principle.”
Miguel de Unamuno
“He had a certain frankness and generosity, qualities indeed which turn to a man's ruin, unless tempered with discretion.”
Tacitus
“If you wish to preserve your secret, wrap it up in frankness”
Alexander Smith
