Dag Hammarskjold
Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.
Dag Hammarskjold

Dag Hammarskjold

Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
