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
Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.
Jonathan Sacks
In our interconnected world, we must learn to feel enlarged, not threatened, by difference - that is what I have argued.
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
As the political leaders of Europe meet to save the euro and European Union, so should religious leaders.
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 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
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
Much can and must be done by governments, but they cannot of themselves change lives.
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
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
I do not want to suggest that you have to be religious to be moral.
Jonathan Sacks
Why did God create mankind? Because God likes stories.
Jonathan Sacks
No great achiever - even those who made it seem easy - ever succeeded without hard work.
Jonathan Sacks
Cyberspace can't compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face.
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
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
The royals - all of them, especially Prince Philip and Prince Charles - have done outstanding work with the faith communities.
Jonathan Sacks
In Judaism faith means wrestling with God as Jacob once wrestled with an angel.
Jonathan Sacks
When money rules, we remember the price of things and forget the value of things, and that is dangerous.
Jonathan Sacks
