In the end it all comes down to talent. You can talk all you want about intangibles, I just don't know what that means. Talent makes winners, not intangibles. Can nice guys win? Sure, nice guys can win - if they're nice guys with a lot of talent. Nice guys with a little talent finish fourth, and nice guys with no talent finish last.

Sandy Koufax

Nice guys finish first. If you don't know that, then you don't know where the finish line is.

Garry Shandling

It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game even starts.

Mort Walker

Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives. But, within the music industry and within the industry of the critiques of music, where it becomes "Ziggy's music is not as good as Bob's music," I don't understand. But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.

Ziggy Marley

Contrary to the cliche', genuinely nice guys most often finish first or very near it.

Steve Forbes

Mitt Romney is a nice guy. But, we know where nice guys finish in politics.

Mark McKinnon

If nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them.

Edward Dyer

Just like there are nice guys and not-so-nice guys, there are nice women and the not-so-nice. The problem is that, in India films have only shown one side of women.

Luv Ranjan

Nice guys finish last.

Leo Durocher

Last guys don't finish nice.

Saul Alinsky

I would never get into the music industry per se, but listening to music really helps me to concentrate. It's just a nice way for me to vibe and chill. There's music for when you're sad or happy or in love; there's music for every moment in life.

Haley Pullos

Basically, nice guys can finish last.

Lee Meriwether

I don't know if there was really ever a golden age of the music business. Most of what was released has always been garbage and some has been able to get through and last. I don't know that it was much better thirty years ago. The music industry just wasn't as efficient. The music industry was more oddball guys who did it for fun and now they are huge corporations that have become more structured.
