More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.
Dag Hammarskjold
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold
'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.
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
I am the vessel. The draft is God's. And God is the thirsty one.
Dag Hammarskjold
For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics.

Dag Hammarskjold
Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each day the first day: Each day a life.
Dag Hammarskjold

Dag Hammarskjold
Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us.
Dag Hammarskjold
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Dag Hammarskjold
The big, shoe-thumping fellow continues as a dark thunderhead to threaten all unrepentant non-Communists with hail and thunder.
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
Humility before the flower at the timber line is the gate which gives access to the path up the open fell.
Dag Hammarskjold
Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
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
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
