More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
Dag Hammarskjold
Each day the first day: Each day a life.
Dag Hammarskjold
We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.
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
Maturity - among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.
Dag Hammarskjold
The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.
Dag Hammarskjold
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.
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
Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.
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
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
Dag Hammarskjold
It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
Dag Hammarskjold
I have only my own burden to bear.
Dag Hammarskjold
The longest journey is the journey inward.
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
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
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
Life yields only to the conqueror.
Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
