Dag Hammarskjold
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
Dag Hammarskjold
Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each day the first day: Each day a life.
Dag Hammarskjold
I have only my own burden to bear.
Dag Hammarskjold
The big, shoe-thumping fellow continues as a dark thunderhead to threaten all unrepentant non-Communists with hail and thunder.
Dag Hammarskjold
When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles give under the strain, the climb seems endless, and suddenly nothing will go quite as you wish it is then that you must not hesitate.
Dag Hammarskjold
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Dag Hammarskjold
It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
Dag Hammarskjold
Maturity - among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.
Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
Dag Hammarskjold
At some moment I did answer Yes to someone or something. And from that hour on I was certain that existence is meaningful.
Dag Hammarskjold
Respect for the word - to employ it with scrupulous care and in incorruptible heartfelt love of truth - is essential if there is to be any growth in a society or in the human race. To misuse the word is to show contempt for man. It undermines the bridges and poisons the wells. It causes Man to regress down the long path of his evolution.
Dag Hammarskjold
Fatigue dulls the pain, but awakes enticing thoughts of death. So! that is the way in which you are tempted to overcome your loneliness -- by making the ultimate escape from life. -- No! It may be that death is to be your ultimate gift to life: it must not be an act of treachery against it.
Dag Hammarskjold
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold
To reach perfection, we must all pass, one by one, through the death of self-effacement.
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
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
Isn't the fulfillment of our duty towards our neighbor an expression of deepest desire?
Dag Hammarskjold
