More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
To reach perfection, we must all pass, one by one, through the death of self-effacement.
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
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
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
I have only my own burden to bear.
Dag Hammarskjold
Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.
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
On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.
Dag Hammarskjold
Respect for the word - to employ it with scrupulous care and in incorruptible heartfelt love of truth - is essential if there is to be any growth in a society or in the human race. To misuse the word is to show contempt for man. It undermines the bridges and poisons the wells. It causes Man to regress down the long path of his evolution.
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
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
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
The big, shoe-thumping fellow continues as a dark thunderhead to threaten all unrepentant non-Communists with hail and thunder.
Dag Hammarskjold
I am the vessel. The draft is God's. And God is the thirsty one.
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
Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
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
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Dag Hammarskjold
To preserve the silence within--amid all the noise. To remain open and quiet, a moist humus in the fertile darkness where the rain falls and the grain ripens--no matter how many tramp across the parade ground in whirling dust under an arid sky.
