If we are to cherish freedom, and to guard it, we must remember what the alternative is: the bread of affliction and the bitter herbs of slavery.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Man was not made for the service of economies economies were made to serve mankind and men and women were made - so we believe - to serve one another, not just ourselves.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Why did God create mankind? Because God likes stories.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Part of the beauty of Judaism, and surely this is so for other faiths also, is that it gently restores control over time. Three times a day we stop what we are doing and turn to God in prayer. We recover perspective. We inhale a deep breath of eternity.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
We should challenge the relativism that tells us there is no right or wrong, when every instinct of our mind knows it is not so, and is a mere excuse to allow us to indulge in what we believe we can get away with. A world without values quickly becomes a world without value.

The meaning of the universe lies outside the universe.

Faced with destruction, the Jewish people survived.

Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
A society in which there are high levels of voluntary activity will simply be a better, happier place than one where there are not.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
The first of the request prayers in the daily Amidah is a fractal. It replicates in miniature the structure of the Amidah as a whole.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
Religious ritual is a way of structuring time so that we, not employers, the market or the media, are in control. Life needs its pauses, its chapter breaks, if the soul is to have space to breathe.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
We need to rediscover the idea of the common good and work together to build a home.
Jonathan Sacks
Image
We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family, and it starts with the Queen herself.

The twenty-first century is, and will remain, the Age of Insecurity.
Jonathan Sacks

Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stressful occupation. It turned out not to be the head of a large business, football manager or prime minister, but rather: bus driver.

The Holocaust survivors are among the most inspiring people I have had the privilege to meet.

Those who believe that liberal democracy and the free market can be defended by the force of law and regulation alone, without an internalised sense of duty and morality, are tragically mistaken.
