Chaste to her husband, frank to all beside, A teeming mistress,
but a barren bride.

I did not make this film about frank Abagnale because of what he did . . but because of what he has done with his life the past 30 years.
Steven SpielbergWe exchanged many frank words in our respective languages.
Peter CookLet us be frank about it. Most of our people have never had it so good.Go around the country, go to the industrial towns, go to the farms, and you will see a state of prosperity such as we have never had in my lifetimenor indeed ever in the history of this country.
StocktonThe Adlerians, in the name of “individual psychology,” take the side of society against the individual. ... Adler’s later thought succumbs to the worst of his earlier banalization. It is conventional, practical, and moralistic. “Our science ... is based on common sense.” Common sense, the half-truths of a deceitful society, is honored as the honest truths of a frank world.
alfred adlerI think the origin of all this clamour for tonality is not so much the need to sense a relationship to the tonic, as a need for familiar chords: let us be frank and say "for the triad"; and I believe I have good reason to say that just so long as a certain kind of music contains enough such triads, it causes no offence, even if in other ways it most violently clashes with the sacred laws of tonality.
Alban BergTo every reversal of people’s soveregnity, to every disappearance of the Republic corresponds a frank or disguised restitution in force of the regal justice. ‘’Tell me, according to what you judge and I’ll tell you who you are.” […] No axiom in politics is more certain than this.
françois mitterrandHe ne'er considered it as lothTo look a gift-horse in the mouth,And very wisely would lay forthNo more upon it than 'twas worth;But as he got it freely, soHe spent it frank and freely too:For saints themselves will sometimes be,Of gifts that cost them nothing, free.
Imam [Khomeini] taught us to reject injustice, and to never accept the barbaric America, which is trying to take over the world. Many people have come up with terms to describe America. But let me be frank with you, I haven't found any term more beautiful, lofty, and noble than the term "the Great Satan" to describe America.
Modern transcendental idealism, Emersonianism, for instance, also seems to let God evaporate into abstract Ideality. Not a deity in concreto, not a superhuman person, but the immanent divinity in things, the essentially spiritual structure of the universe, is the object of the transcendentalist cult. In that address of the graduating class at Divinity College in 1838 which made Emerson famous, the frank expression of this worship of mere abstract laws was what made the scandal of the performance.
william jamesThe man of frank and strong prejudices, far from being a political and social menace and an obstacle in the path of progress, is often a benign character and helpful citizen. The chance is far greater, furthermore, that he will be more creative than the man who can never come to more than a few gingerly held conclusions, or who thinks that all ideas should be received with equal hospitality. There is such a thing as being so broad you are flat.
richard weaverHe ne'er considered it as loth To look a gift-horse in the mouth, And very wisely would lay forth No more upon it than 'twas worth; But as he got it freely, so He spent it frank and freely too: For saints themselves will sometimes be, Of gifts that cost them nothing, free.
In the national debate about a serious issue, it is the expression of the minority's viewpoint that most demands the protection of the First Amendment. Whatever the better policy may be, a full and frank discussion of the costs and benefits of the attempt to prohibit the use of marijuana is far wiser than suppression of speech because it is unpopular.
Common sense, the half-truths of a deceitful society, is honored as the honest truths of a frank world.
The price that the market sets on the services of our resources is similarly affected by a bewildering mixture of chance and choice. frank Sinatra's voice was highly valued in twentieth-century United States. Would it have been highly valued in twentieth-century India, if he had happened to be born and to live there?
Milton FriedmanArt in Britain is in a very healthy state. The artists of my generation and older are at their best — people like Howard Hodgkin and frank Auerbach. The YBAs are still very strong, and it's exciting to wonder what the next generation will bring.
Peter BlakeWe cherish the chance to say thank you in person to Cpl. frank Buckles.
frank bucklesfrank Harris has no feelings. It is the secret of his success. Just as the fact that he thinks other people have none either is the secret of the failure that lies in wait for him somewhere on the way of Life.

Frank Lloyd Wright“I’m sure Obama is an atheist, I’m sure Kennedy was an atheist, but I doubt if Pope frank is.
Richard DawkinsThe brilliant chief, irregularly great, frank, haughty, rash the Rupert of debate.
LyttonBartley : Why dost laugh, frank? Ilford . To see that we and usurers live by the fall of young heirs, as swine by the dropping of acorns.

Do it, frank... Take my picture... It'll look great on your mantle.
