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

Dag Hammarskjold
Friendship needs no words.
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
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
We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.
Dag Hammarskjold
What makes loneliness an anguish Is not that I have no one to share my burden, But this: I have only my own burden to bear.
Dag Hammarskjold
He is one of those who has had the wilderness for a pillow, and called a star his brother. Alone. But loneliness can be a communion.
Dag Hammarskjold
Life yields only to the conqueror.
