142

I’m a fan of Independiente, so I’d naturally like to wear their colours, and I also like Banfield, who gave me a lot as a young player. Either would be nice.
Javier Zanetti
162
It would be nice if areas could be revitalised – like places in the U.S. such as Pittsburgh, for example, which have been transformed through shale. There you have shiny cars in a shiny city because of the development of shale in an old industrial heartland.
Jim Ratcliffe
163
I don’t feel like I have to be nice and apologetic all of the time. I’m trying to be strong and fierce.
Emma Mackey
164
Lust is temporary, romance can be nice, but love is the most important thing of all. Because without love, lust and romance will always be short-lived.
Danielle Steel
165
I have never been in a cage fighting UFC. It would be nice to try.
Olivier Giroud
166
It can be actually quite cynical to go, ‘Isn’t it nice to be nice to people?’
Brett Goldstein
167
Marriage was coined at a time when people died when they were 30. That stability would be nice, and I am definitely open-minded about it, but I don’t need it in that way some women do.
Georgina Bloomberg
168
I have realised that it’s important to be a sport, be nice, and know what to speak and when.
S. Sreesanth
169
Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.
John Gotti
170
When we talk to somebody and we want to be nice or polite or show our more beautiful side, we try to use the best words that we know. This is what poets are doing. They are cleaning the words, they are inventing the sentiments, they are giving us a way to communicate.
Roberto Benigni
171
It would be nice if every state were like New Mexico and cared about the Indian vote.
Deb Haaland
172
I very often compare relations between states to relations with people. Sometimes we are nicer to those we don’t know well, who are not our friends, than we are to our friends, because with our friends we don’t need to be nice all the time.
Jose Manuel Barroso
173
When I must be mean, I’m mean. When I can be nice, I am nice.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk
174
I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.
Greg Maddux
175
Keep your private life private. Be open to suggestions from different people. And just be nice. I have heard stories about people who are just plain rude to the press or fans.
Michelle Trachtenberg
176
Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized.
Jonathan Davis
177
I am really fond of accessorizing my car. If the world outside isn’t too good looking, at least the car should be nice and comfortable from within.
Karan Wahi
178
It’s kinda nice to be remembered by your peers and your fans, because you can achieve a lot of success and be a creep too! But we try to be nice, just normal people.
Karen Carpenter
179
American fiction is good. It would be nice if somebody read it.
Gary Shteyngart
180
Lust is temporary, romance can be nice, but love is the most important thing of all. Because without love, lust and romance will always be short-lived.
Danielle Steel
181
It would be nice if we redefined what we meant by ‘war story.’ If you’re making $15,000 a year living in a certain area of Portland, trying to make it with three kids and no husband, that’s a kind of war.
James McBride
182
I’ve always thought it’d be nice to be seaweed, kind of just floating about.
Devendra Banhart
183
Your first job, I tell people I mentor, is managing your affect. Be nice and say nice things. Make it so that the people walk away from interacting with you and say, ‘That was fun.’ That will make them want to come back and do it again.
Jill Soloway
184
It would be nice to finish Khabib via liver shots, wouldn’t it? I just want to see him wincing in pain on the ground where he belongs.
Tony Ferguson
185
Be honest, be nice, be a flower not a weed.
Aaron Neville
186
The big trick is just to get to a point where we’re just considered DPs, and we’re not ‘female DPs.’ When you think of the word ‘doctor’ or ‘teacher,’ you don’t think gender. And it would be nice to get to a place where ‘DP’ meant either and ‘director’ meant either and ‘gaffer’ meant either.
Rachel Morrison
187
I don’t think a powerful man would be interesting unless he’d be nice, attractive, with or without the power. Men are interested in powerful men. Women are interested in terrific men!
Dorothy Stratten
188
I don’t think they need to be nice to reporters, but the White House seems to imagine that releasing information is like a tap that can be turned on and off at their whim.
George Packer
189
The most important thing especially in domestic cricket is to enjoy each day there, be nice to people around you and never get frustrated.
Dinesh Karthik
190
Of course it would be nice for everybody and myself if we could win but we can still have a personal or a team win if we achieve a target that is effectively a win for us.
Lando Norris
191
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
Charles Baudelaire
192
I like to be firm. But it is easier to be nice than to be nasty.
Wolfgang Puck
193
The fact I even get an opportunity to make one album is crazy. But if all goes to plan, I’ll get to make five albums. That’d be nice.
Vance Joy
194
I thought about that the other day after I went to the grocery store and had to sign fifteen autographs before leaving. On one hand, it’s just so flattering. On the other hand, sometimes it would be nice to get the bread and leave, you know?
Clay Aiken
195
I remember I did think, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if Mr. Right moved in next door?’
Helena Bonham Carter
196
It would be nice to garner new fans and make it a success – and success is relevant, we already know all that.
Juice Newton
197
It’s a little bit of a bummer because you’re really trying to do good work and be nice and be a good person, and in the meantime… people wish negative things upon you.
Camila Morrone
198
It’s nice to be important, but it’s important to always be nice.
Alyssa Milano
199
I think we need a rulebook saying that everyone should be lovely to each other. It doesn’t cost anything to be nice.
Daisy Lowe
200
At the end of the day, it’s a game. You play the best that you can. You need to keep a smile. You need to be nice to others. Everybody’s trying hard.
Dinesh Karthik
201
Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.
Andrew Bogut
202
I’ve seen stuff that says be nice and I think: you’re not showing me anything. You’re telling me, like a Hallmark card: be nice, nice to be nice, innit?
Brett Goldstein
203
Everything I do is somehow rooted in humanity. It’s always about people; it’s always about ego. It’s always about desperation. It’s quite existential. You know, ‘Am I leading a good life?’ That might be because I’m an atheist, and I think this is all we’ve got, so you better be nice. And have fun.
Ricky Gervais
204
Talent is obviously very important, but it’s also about how you approach the work and, you know, maybe this is a Canadian thing, but it’s good to be nice.
Jeremy Podeswa
205
Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down.
Jimmy Durante
