There's Nothing Scary About "Frank" ...

We do not learn much from learned books, but from true, sincere, human books, from frank and honest biographies. 

...Henry David Thoreau

It is the vice of our public speaking that it has not abandonment. Somewhere, not only every orator but every man should let out all the length of all the reins; should find or make a frank and hearty expression of what force and meaning is in him.

Daddy of the Day - Frank

Are sailors, frequenters of fiddlers' greens, without vices? No; but less often than with landsmen do their vices, so called, partake of crookedness of heart, seeming less to proceed from viciousness than exuberance of vitality after long constraint: frank manifestations in accordance with natural law. 

Herman Melville (1819-1891). Billy Budd, Sailor, ch. 2
