More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
Acts of violence-- Whether on a large or a small scale, the bitter paradox: the meaningfulness of death--and the meaninglessness of killing.
Dag Hammarskjold
Here man is no longer the center of the world, only a witness, but a witness who is also a partner in the silent life of Nature, bound by secret affinities of the trees.
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
Perhaps a great love is never returned. Had it been given warmth and shelter by its counterpart in the Other, perhaps it would have been hindered from ever growing to maturity. It gives us nothing. But in its world of loneliness it leads us up to the summits with wide vistas - of great insights.
Dag Hammarskjold
For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics. Faith, in spite of the humiliation which is both the necessary precondition and the consequence of faith, faith without any hope of compensation other than he can find in a faith which reality seems so thoroughly to refute.
Dag Hammarskjold
This accidental meeting of possibilities calls itself I. I ask: what am I doing here? And, at once, this I becomes unreal.
Dag Hammarskjold
Everything will be all right - you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.
Dag Hammarskjold
Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.
Dag Hammarskjold
We've got to learn hard things in our lifetime, but it's love that gives you the strength. It's being nice to people and having a lot of fun and laughing harder than anything, hopefully every single day of your life.
Dag Hammarskjold
In the presence of God, nothing stands between Him and us - we are forgiven. But we cannot feel His presence if anything is allowed to stand between ourselves and others.
Dag Hammarskjold
Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
Dag Hammarskjold
On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.
Dag Hammarskjold
Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.
Dag Hammarskjold
It was when Lucifer first congratulated himself upon his angelic behavior that he became the tool of evil.
Dag Hammarskjold
The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
Dag Hammarskjold
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
Life yields only to the conqueror.
Dag Hammarskjold
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Dag Hammarskjold
The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.
Dag Hammarskjold
Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.
