More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
You dare your Yes - and experience a meaning...You repeat your Yes - and all things acquire a meaning...When everything has a meaning, how can you live anything but a YES.
Dag Hammarskjold
The myths have always condemned those who 'looked back.' Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision.
Dag Hammarskjold
It was when Lucifer first congratulated himself upon his angelic behavior that he became the tool of evil.
Dag Hammarskjold
The devils enter uninvited when the house stands empty. For other kinds of guests, you have to first open the door.
Dag Hammarskjold
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Dag Hammarskjold
The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.
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
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Dag Hammarskjold
The longest journey Is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest For the source of his being.
Dag Hammarskjold
Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
Dag Hammarskjold
Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.
Dag Hammarskjold
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
It is not we who seek the Way, but the Way which seeks us. That is why you are faithful to it, even while you stand waiting, so long as you are prepared, and act the moment you are confronted by its demands.
Dag Hammarskjold
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
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
You take the pen, and the lines dance. You take the flute and the notes shimmer. You take the brush, and the colors sing. So all things have meaning and beauty in that space beyond time where you are. How, then, can I hold back anything from you?
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
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
It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
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
