Forget about Nobel prizes; they aren't really very important.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are just two things you can do to win a Nobel prize - have a good idea and pursue it effectively.
The great esteem in which the Nobel prizes are universally held is due to the fact that for several generations they have been given purely on scientific merit and not through lobbying and politicking. I do hope that it will stay this way, and the prizes will never be given according to the number of votes in live TV contests!
The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for what one has done, but hopefully what one will do.
And yet the Nobel Prizes, in singling out individuals, have done a great deal of good in pointing up to the world as a whole and setting forth clearly goals for achievement.
I've always felt that the Nobel Prize gives me nothing as far as science is concerned.
I think it's fair to say that the Nobel Prize is the highest honor any scientist or artist can achieve.
Nobel prizes are very special prizes, and it would be great to get one.
There is no other prize in any country that carries the prestige that a Nobel bestows.
It is well known that the Nobel Committees bring world opinion to a focus, and that fact still further enhances the prestige attaching to the Prizes.
The Nobel Prizes are much more than awards to scholars; they are a celebration of civilization, of mankind, and of what makes humans unique - that is their intellect from which springs creativity.
