"He stood erect-as a peg top does so long as the whip keeps lasing it. He was modest-thanks to a robust conviction of his own superiority. He was unambitious-all he wanted was a a life free from cares, and he took more pleasure in the failures of others than his own successes. He saved his life by never risking it-and complained that he was misunderstood."
Dag Hammarskjold-Markings
