In view of the ordsprog

In view of the meaning given to this honor in the community to which I belong, I should abstain from the undeserved prize that has been awarded to me. Do not meet my voluntary refusal with ill will.

This is quite an honor, this Community Spirit Award. I think the Governor?s Award carries with it a certain amount of heft, don?t you? This is (awarded by) the State Council for the Arts. It?s an incredible honor.

REFUSAL, n. Denial of something desired; as an elderly maiden's hand in marriage, to a rich and handsome suitor; a valuable franchise to a rich corporation, by an alderman; absolution to an impenitent king, by a priest, and so forth. Refusals are graded in a descending scale of finality thus: the refusal absolute, the refusal condition, the refusal tentative and the refusal feminine. The last is called by some casuists the refusal assentive.

Wei Jingsheng is a condemned criminal who is serving his sentence and, therefore, has no qualification to be awarded a Nobel prize.

All honor to him who shall win the prize,'The world has cried for a thousand years;But to him who tries and fails and dies,I give great honor and glory and tears.

All ära till honom som vinner priset,
har världen ropat i tusen år;
Men till honom som försöker och misslyckas och dör,
ger jag stor ära och hjärta och tårar.
