Yes, sometimes it can be a lot more fun to be naughty than nice, but it rarely leads us down a path that we want to go.

While we all might have that little naughty streak in us, it’s much better when we learn how to control it instead of being controlled by it.

While it might be fun for a little while, chances are that you won’t really like where it’s going to take you.

So if you’re debating being naughty or nice, like some people in these naughty quotes and sayings, remember that nice really is the way to go!
