Dag Hammarskjold
Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us.
Dag Hammarskjold
Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.

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
I am the vessel. The draft is God's. And God is the thirsty one.
Dag Hammarskjold
