What makes loneliness an angu...

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 196 quotes

Unless there is a spiritual r...

Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

When you have reached the poi...

When you have reached the point where you no longer expect a response, you will at last be able to give in such a way that the other is able to receive, and be grateful. When Love has matured and, through a dissolution of the self into light, become a radiance, then shall the Lover be liberated from dependence upon the Beloved, and the Beloved also be made perfect by being liberated from the Lover.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

At every moment you choose yo...

At every moment you choose yourself. But do you choose *your* self? Body and soul contain a thousand possibilities out of which you can build many I's. But in one of them is there a congruence of the elector and the elected. Only one--which you will never find until you have excluded all those superficial and fleeting possibilities of being and doing with which you toy, out of curiosity or wonder or greed, and which hinder you from casting anchor in the experience of the mystery of life, and the consciousness of the talent entrusted to you which is your *I*.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The concept of loyalty is dis...

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 196 quotes

If a good person does you wro...

If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. They will make note of this and not remain in your debt long.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The world cannot live at peac...

The world cannot live at peace without the United Nations. For this reason: it creates a reasonable guarantee that all this change in the world, these tremendous political and economic developments, can be channelized, kept orderly. The United Nations is a mold that keeps the hot metal from spilling over.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

When the morning's freshness ...

When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles give under the strain, the climb seems endless, and suddenly nothing will go quite as you wish it is then that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

Creative people have to be fed from the divine source.

Life yields only to the conqu...

Life yields only to the conqueror.

Like the bee, we distill poison from honey for our self-defense--what happens to the bee if it uses its sting is well known.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

For the sacrificed, in the ho...

For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics. Faith, in spite of the humiliation which is both the necessary precondition and the consequence of faith, faith without any hope of compensation other than he can find in a faith which reality seems so thoroughly to refute.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The life of simplicity is sim...

The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

To preserve the silence withi...

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 196 quotes

The dizziness in the face of ...

The dizziness in the face of les espaces infinis--only overcome if we dare to gaze into them without any protection. And accept them as the reality before which we must justify our existence. For this is the truth we must reach to live, that everything is and we just in it.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

At some moment I did answer "...

At some moment I did answer "Yes" to someone or something. And from that hour on I was certain that existence is meaningful.

Set-backs in efforts to implement an ideal do not prove that the ideal is wrong...

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

You wake from dreams of doom ...

You wake from dreams of doom and--for a moment--you know: beyond all the noise and the gestures, the only real thing, love's calm unwavering flame in the half-light of an early dawn.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The UN wasn't created to take mankind into paradise, but rather, to save humanity from hell.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Do not look back and do not dream about the future. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward, your destiny, is in the present moment
