Dag Hammarskjold
The longest journey is the journey inward.
Dag Hammarskjold
Life yields only to the conqueror.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each morning we must hold out the chalice of our being to receive, to carry, and give back. It must be held out empty - for the past must only be reflected in its polish, its shape, its capacity.
Dag Hammarskjold
Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.
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
Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
Dag Hammarskjold
Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.
Dag Hammarskjold
