Alfred Nobel

I am a conservative, but not a reactionary.

The horror of war finds its most eloquent expression in the gaze of the wounded.

I am informed that a new explosive has been invented; it is called dynamite.

Peace is the most noble prize one can receive.

I have created a monster that will end all wars.

Inventions are the children of necessity.

The merchant of death is what they call me.

Let the world know that my last will is for humanity.

Explosives are not toys for children.

Life is a brief experiment; make it count.

Nations should unite against the scourge of war.

Chemistry is the art of turning elements into wonders.

I regret that my invention has been used for destruction.

True genius lies in simplicity.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Dynamite is a tool, not a weapon, in the right hands.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

I am a solitary wanderer in the world of science.

Innovation demands risk and relentless pursuit.

Humanity's progress is measured by its compassion.
