Additional quotes by Dag Hammarskjöld

Mitte kunagi lubada edul varjata enda tühisust, panusel enda tähtsusetust, tööelul oma kõledust, et säiliks edasipürgimise ajend - see hingevalu, mis meid tagant kihutab. Ära vaata tagasi. Ära unista tulevikust: ta ei tagasta sulle möödanikku ega rahulda teisi õnneunelmaid. Sinu kohustus ja su tasu - su saatus - on SIIN ja PRAEGU.

Forgiveness is the answer to the child’s dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
