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?

More quotes by 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
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
If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.
Dag Hammarskjold
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold
A task becomes a duty from the moment you suspect it to be an essential part of that integrity which alone entitles a man to assume responsibility.
Dag Hammarskjold
The concept of loyalty is distorted when it is understood to mean blind acceptance. It is correctly interpreted when it is assumed to cover honest criticism.
Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
It was when Lucifer first congratulated himself upon his angelic behavior that he became the tool of evil.
Dag Hammarskjold
Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.
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
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
It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
Dag Hammarskjold
On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.
Dag Hammarskjold
I am the vessel. The draft is God's. And God is the thirsty one.
Dag Hammarskjold
The longest journey is the journey inward.
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
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
Destiny is something not be to desired and not to be avoided. A mystery not contrary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each day the first day: Each day a life.
Dag Hammarskjold
Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
