When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles give under the strain, the climb seems endless, and suddenly nothing will go quite as you wish it is then that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.

More quotes by 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
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.
Dag Hammarskjold
The devils enter uninvited when the house stands empty. For other kinds of guests, you have to first open the door.
Dag Hammarskjold
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.
Dag Hammarskjold
Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.
Dag Hammarskjold
Life yields only to the conqueror.
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
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Dag Hammarskjold
Everything will be all right - you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.
Dag Hammarskjold
Isn't the fulfillment of our duty towards our neighbor an expression of deepest desire?
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
Set-backs in efforts to implement an ideal do not prove that the ideal is wrong...
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
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Dag Hammarskjold
The longest journey Is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest For the source of his being.
Dag Hammarskjold
The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.
Dag Hammarskjold
Here man is no longer the center of the world, only a witness, but a witness who is also a partner in the silent life of Nature, bound by secret affinities of the trees.
Dag Hammarskjold
We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.
