Additional quotes by Dag Hammarskjöld

Att aldrig låta framgången dölja sin tomhet, insatsen sin intighet, arbetslivet sin ödslighet, och så att bevara sporren att nå vidare – den smärta i själen som driver oss själva. Se dig inte om. Och dröm ej om framtiden: den skall ej återskänka dig det förgångna eller tillfredsställa andra lyckodrömmar. Din plikt och din belöning – ditt öde – är HÄR och NU.
