Summary
This quote conveys the belief that achieving success is more important than choosing ethical or moral means to attain it. It suggests that it is acceptable to win by any means necessary, as long as one doesn't face negative consequences or punishment. "Nice guys finish last" implies that those who prioritize morality and kindness are at a disadvantage compared to those who are ruthless and willing to do whatever it takes to win. In essence, this quote reflects a Machiavellian perspective of prioritizing personal gain over ethical considerations.
