Not really an answer, but one could say that a scientist should conduct their research with one hungry eye on the Nobel Peace Prize.
(Obviously, this is a quip; cf medical research etc etc. But I think it conveys the spirit pretty well)
Specifically the Nobel Peace Prize is pretty much discredited nowadays, it became a rather meaningless political gesture.
