Perhaps My Dynamite Plants Will

Worry Is The Stomach's Worst Poison.

Contentment Is The Only Real Wealth.

Hope Is Nature's Veil For Hiding Truth's Nakedness.

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.

I Regard Large Inherited Wealth As A Misfortune, Which Merely Serves To Dull Men's Faculties. A Man Who Possesses Great Wealth Should, Therefore, Allow Only A Small Portion To Descend To His Relatives. Even If He Has Children, I Consider It A Mistake To Hand Over To Them Considerable Sums Of Money Beyond What Is Necessary For Their Education. To Do So Merely Encourages Laziness And Impedes The Healthy Development Of The Individual's Capacity To Make An Independent Position For Himself.
