The true magnitude of ordsprog

The true magnitude of the Nobel Committee's blunder in awarding the Prize to Kissinger didn't become apparent until the destabilization of Cambodia, set in motion by American intervention, produced the Khmer Rouge and the slaughter of over a million

Crediting Dick Cheney and this administration's policies with the success of Harley-Davidson - or any other American manufacturing plant - is like awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to China for its actions at Tien An Men Square.

The Khmer Rouge (which then was fighting for control of Cambodia) had a policy of taking no prisoners. They executed them pretty much on the spot.

The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

And when he received the Nobel Prize he accepted it on behalf of the American people because he said that he would not accept this prize for himself. He said, the American people are very generous people and I'm taking this back to them as a country.

The Khmer Rouge is over.

I think he should have won the Nobel Prize. I don't know why he didn't. He was sort of a shy person who didn't promote himself outside the scientific community. He would rather work in the lab.

David Patterson

Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona.

William Vickrey

I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.

Evan Hunter (1927-)

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

My mother visited me here once, saw the Khmer Rouge style and has never come back again.

Hakpry Agnchealy

I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A man does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards, but when I was notified that I had won the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Mr de Klerk, I was deeply moved. The Nobel Peace P

Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)

Nelson Mandela

With a total endowment of $400 million, [the Institute] has worked with 21 Nobel Prize winners and practically all Fields Medals winners. Very seldom with a modest contribution can you have such a great effect on the advancement of science.
