Sammy Davis, Jr.
  • The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

  • The success of the Rat Pack or the Clan was due to the camaraderie, the three guys who work together and kid each other and love each other.

  • Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man.

  • I was so opposed to the war in Vietnam that I initially refused President Nixon's urgings for me to go there.

  • I hadn't been in Vegas 20 minutes when I got word that the bookmakers were offering three to one that Frank wouldn't show for my wedding.
