== Philosophy and Vision == Nobel believed in '''progress guided by ethics'''. Despite being a man of science and industry, he feared that technology without moral conscience could destroy humanity.<blockquote>βMy dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men find that in one instant whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.β ''(source: The Guardian)''</blockquote>Although history proved his optimism premature, his idea β that human intellect should serve peace β remains at the heart of the Nobel legacy. ----
