More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
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
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each morning we must hold out the chalice of our being to receive, to carry, and give back. It must be held out empty - for the past must only be reflected in its polish, its shape, its capacity.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each day the first day: Each day a life.
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
Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.
Dag Hammarskjold
Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.
Dag Hammarskjold
At some moment I did answer Yes to someone or something. And from that hour on I was certain that existence is meaningful.
Dag Hammarskjold
Time goes by, reputation increases, ability declines.
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
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
Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.
Dag Hammarskjold
It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
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
Acts of violence-- Whether on a large or a small scale, the bitter paradox: the meaningfulness of death--and the meaninglessness of killing.
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
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
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
Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
