Jonathan Sacks quotes and sayings page 6 (clergyman). Here's quote # 51 through 60 out of the 91 we have.
“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.”
“Jews read the books of Moses not just as history but as divine command. The question to which they are an answer is not, 'What happened?' but rather, 'How then shall I live?' And it's only with the exodus that the life of the commands really begins.”
“Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women - 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother, according to census data - is practically absurd and morally indefensible.”
“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.”
“Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.”
“As the political leaders of Europe meet to save the euro and European Union, so should religious leaders.”
“Cyberspace can't compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face.”
“The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game.”
“The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.”
“While we can remember the past, we cannot write the future. Only our children, the future of our community, can do that.”
