Be grateful as your deeds beco...

Be grateful as your deeds become less and less associated with your name, as your feet ever more lightly tread the earth.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Friendship needs no words....

Friendship needs no words.

Smiling, sincere, incorruptible -
His body disciplined and limber.
A man who had become what he could,
And was what he was-
Ready at any moment to gather everything
Into one simple sacrifice.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Destiny is something not to be desired and not to be avoided.

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.

It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.

So rests the sky against the earth. The dark still tarn in the lap of the forest. As a husband embraces his wife's body in faithful tenderness, so the bare ground and trees are embraced by the still, high, light of the morning. I feel an ache of longing to share in this embrace, to be united and absorbed. A longing like carnal desire, but directed towards earth, water, sky, and returned by the whispers of the trees, the fragrance of the soil, the caresses of the wind, the embrace of water and light. Content? No, no, no

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

Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each of us.

Fatigue dulls the pain, but aw...

Fatigue dulls the pain, but awakes enticing thoughts of death. So! that is the way in which you are tempted to overcome your loneliness -- by making the ultimate escape from life. -- No! It may be that death is to be your ultimate gift to life: it must not be an act of treachery against it.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

Respect for the word - to empl...

Respect for the word - to employ it with scrupulous care and an 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 196 quotes

It is not the Soviet Union or ...

It is not the Soviet Union or indeed any other big Powers who need the United Nations for their protection. It is all the others. In this sense, the Organization is first of all their Organization and I deeply believe in the wisdom with which they will be able to use it and guide it. I shall remain in my post during the term of my office as a servant of the Organization in the interests of all those other nations, as long as they wish me to do so.

To reach perfection, we must all pass, one by one, through the death of self-effacement.

Life yields only to the conqueror.

Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self-exaltation.

Dag Hammarskjold 196 quotes

The world cannot live at peace...

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

For the sacrificed, in the hou...

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 concept of loyalty is dist...

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.

The devils enter uninvited when the house stands empty. For other kinds of guests, you have to first open the door.
