More From Dag Hammarskjold

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. a tree does not know itself wretched. it is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.

Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - i want to take my city for christ. but the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. a pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.

You must know that i do not love and that i love you, because everything alive has its two sides; a word is one wing of silence, fire has its cold half. i love you in order to begin to love you, to start infinity again and never to stop loving you: that’s why i do not love you yet. i love you, and i do not love you, as if i held keys in my hand: to a future of joy- a wretched, muddled fate- my love has two lives, in order to love you. -sonnet xliv

But if you are a poor creature--poisoned by a wretched up-bringing in some house full of vulgar jealousies and senseless quarrels--saddled, by no choice of your own, with some loathsome sexual perversion--nagged day in and day out by an inferiority complex that makes you snap at your best friends--do not despair. he knows all about it. you are one of the poor whom he blessed. he knows what a wretched machine you are trying to drive. keep on. do what you can. one day he will fling it on the scrap-heap and give you a new one. and then you may astonish us all - not least yourself.

Our party [republicans] has been focused on big business too long. i came through small business. i understand how hard it is to start a small business. that's why everything i'll do is designed to help small businesses grow and add jobs. i want to keep their taxes down on small business. i want regulators to see their job as encouraging small enterprise, not crushing it.

When your vision is powerful enough, everything else falls into place: how you live your life, your workouts, what friends you choose to hang out with, how you eat, what you do for fun. vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear, so are your life choices. vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. with faith, there is no anxiety, no doubt - just absolute confidence.

The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
