More quotes by Jonathan Sacks
Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.
Jonathan Sacks
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
The market economy is deeply congruent with the values set out in the Hebrew Bible. Material prosperity is a divine blessing. Poverty crushes the spirit as well as the body, and its alleviation is a sacred task. Work is a noble calling.
Jonathan Sacks
Britain, relative to the U.S., is a highly secular society. Philanthropy alone cannot fill the gap left by government cutbacks. And the sources of altruism go deep into our evolutionary past.
Jonathan Sacks
The universe is more than mere matter in motion. It and we were brought into being by a Creator who seeks our good.
Jonathan Sacks
Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education, age, income, gender or race.
Jonathan Sacks
Giving is what makes a nation great.
Jonathan Sacks
If you want a free society, teach your children what oppression tastes like. Tell them how many miracles it takes to get from here to there. Above all, encourage them to ask questions. Teach them to think for themselves.
Jonathan Sacks
Hope, even more than necessity, is the mother of invention.
Jonathan Sacks
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
In an ecology of love, people can relate in trust and face the future without fear. They do not need to play it safe. They can take uncertainty in their stride.
Jonathan Sacks
We believe that what we possess we don't ultimately own. God is merely entrusting it to us. And one of the conditions of that trust is that we share what we have with those who have less. So, if you don't give to people in need, you can hardly call yourself a Jew. Even the most unbelieving Jew knows that.
Jonathan Sacks
In our interconnected world, we must learn to feel enlarged, not threatened, by difference - that is what I have argued.
Jonathan Sacks
No great achiever - even those who made it seem easy - ever succeeded without hard work.
Jonathan Sacks
People are feeling and sensing a return of anti-Semitism - even in Europe, which, seventy years after the Holocaust, is a very scary thing. I think they are feeling that Israel is very isolated and doesn't always get what they see as fair treatment in the European media.
Jonathan Sacks
Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.
Jonathan Sacks
The twenty-first century is, and will remain, the Age of Insecurity.
Jonathan Sacks
Yahoo has gone too far in wrongfully accusing us of a conspiracy that doesn't exist. If they are having problems retaining engineers, they should be looking at the internal sources of employee dissatisfaction rather than trying to cover that up with this legal action.
Jonathan Sacks
The meaning of the universe lies outside the universe.
Jonathan Sacks
God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist. May your work help all of us to cherish our commonalities and feel enlarged by our differences.
Jonathan Sacks
