Dag Hammarskjold
Image
Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

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.

Image
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.

The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The devils enter uninvited when the house stands empty. For other kinds of guests, you have to first open the door.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
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
Image
When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles give under the strain, the climb seems endless, and suddenly nothing will go quite as you wish it is then that you must not hesitate.
