Notable quotes

“I would not leave anything to a man of action as he would be tempted to give up work; on the other hand, I would like to help dreamers as they find it difficult to get on in life.”
— As quoted in Nobel, Dynamite and Peace (1929) by Ragnar Sohlman and Henrik Schück, as translated by Brian Lunn and Beatrix Lunn, p. 249; also quoted by Lester B. Pearson in his address on accepting the Nobel Peace Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway (10 December 1957).
“If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.”
— As quoted in The 12 best Questions To Ask Customers (2001), by Jim Meisenheimer, p. 26.
“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.”
— As quoted in The Military Quotation Book (2002) by James Charlton, p. 114.
