Alfred Nobel
Nature is man's teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence.
Alfred Nobel
A heart can no more be forced to love than a stomach can be forced to digest food by persuasion.
Alfred Nobel
Lying is the greatest of all sins.
Alfred Nobel

Alfred Nobel
I have not the slightest pretension to call my verses poetry I write now and then for no other purpose than to relieve depression or to improve my English.
Alfred Nobel
It is my express wish that in awarding the [Nobel Prizes] no consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not.
Alfred Nobel
