Alfred Nobel

The greatest invention is the human mind.

To invent is to discern the possibilities of the impossible.

The true inventor is one who sees what everyone else sees but thinks what no one else thinks.

I would rather be a fool with a good idea than a genius with none.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

The only true failure is the failure to try.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

The value of an idea lies in the using of it.

I am not a humanitarian; I am a misanthrope.

My desire is to do good, not to make money.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

The world is full of genius, but few are willing to work.
