#5 Robert Frost
This quote is taken from Robert Frost's poem “The Road Not Taken”. Most readers think that this line is about going your own way. But actually it is wrong.

This quote was created by Leo the Lip who was the field manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He said “Nice guys finish seventh” after the 7th place of the team. However, his words were misquoted.
