It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.
From Dag Hammarskjold
Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.
Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.
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.
The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned.
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being.
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
To forgive oneself? No, that doesn't work: we have to be forgiven. But we can only believe this is possible if we ourselves can forgive.
It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.
