More quotes by Jonathan Sacks
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
The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game.
Jonathan Sacks
We have no idea where the world is going, except that it's going there very fast.
Jonathan Sacks
Why did God create mankind? Because God likes stories.
Jonathan Sacks
As the political leaders of Europe meet to save the euro and European Union, so should religious leaders.
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
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
The meaning of the universe lies outside the universe.
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
Just as the natural environment depends on biodiversity, so the human environment depends on cultural diversity, because no one civilization encompasses all the spiritual, ethical and artistic expressions of mankind.
Jonathan Sacks
Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.
Jonathan Sacks
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
The message of Passover remains as powerful as ever. Freedom is won not on the battlefield but in the classroom and the home. Teach your children the history of freedom if you want them never to lose it.
Jonathan Sacks
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
Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.
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
Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.
Jonathan Sacks
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.
Jonathan Sacks
When we love and make loving commitments, we create families and communities within which people can grow and take risks, knowing that hands will be there to catch them should they fall.
Jonathan Sacks
With wealth comes responsibility.
