Values are tapes we play on the Walkman of the mind: any tune we choose so long as it does not disturb others.

More quotes by 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
Much can and must be done by governments, but they cannot of themselves change lives.
Jonathan Sacks
Israel is a democratic state with an independent judiciary, a free press and a diverse population of many cultures, religions and creeds.
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
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.
Jonathan Sacks
The idols of today are unmistakable - self-esteem without achievement, sex without consequences, wealth without responsibility, pleasure without struggle and experience without commitment.
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
Faced with destruction, the Jewish people survived.
Jonathan Sacks
The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians, knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.
Jonathan Sacks
Dreams are where we visit the many lands and landscapes of human possibility and discover the one where we feel at home. The great religious leaders were all dreamers.
Jonathan Sacks
I do not want to suggest that you have to be religious to be moral.
Jonathan Sacks
When money rules, we remember the price of things and forget the value of things, and that is dangerous.
Jonathan Sacks
Hope, even more than necessity, is the mother of invention.
Jonathan Sacks
When everything that matters can be bought and sold, when commitments can be broken because they are no longer to our advantage, when shopping becomes salvation and advertising slogans become our litany, when our worth is measured by how much we earn and spend, then the market is destroying the very virtues on which in the long run it depends.
Jonathan Sacks
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holy of holies of Jewish time. It is that rarest of phenomena, a Jewish festival without food. Instead it is a day of fasting and prayer, introspection and self-judgment when, collectively and repeatedly, we confess our sins and pray to be written into God's Book of Life.
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
In our interconnected world, we must learn to feel enlarged, not threatened, by difference - that is what I have argued.
Jonathan Sacks
With wealth comes responsibility.
Jonathan Sacks
We need to rediscover the idea of the common good and work together to build a home.
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.
