Jonathan Sacks People Quotations

Jews survived all the defeats, expulsions, persecutions and pogroms, the centuries in which they were regarded as a pariah people, even the Holocaust itself, because they never gave up the faith that one day they would be free to live as Jews without fear.

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.

The Holocaust survivors are among the most inspiring people I have had the privilege to meet.

Frequent worshippers are also significantly more active citizens. They are more likely to belong to community organizations, especially those concerned with young people, health, arts and leisure, neighborhood and civic groups and professional associations.

I think this represents another way to get different groups of people to use their phones in fun ways they didn't think of before. You have to look at consumers and see what they would want to do that introduces them to the magic they have on cell phones.

Volunteering has been undervalued in Britain for a long time. Often it has been seen as a kind of cut-price, amateur version of work that would be better done by the state. When politicians speak about it, people hear in the background the sound of budgets being cut.

The evidence shows that religious people - defined by regular attendance at a place of worship - actually do make better neighbors.

I think our people in Britain have a normative expectation of ethical conduct.

Faced with destruction, the Jewish people survived.

The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.

The wisest rule in investment is: when others are selling, buy. When others are buying, sell. Usually, of course, we do the opposite. When everyone else is buying, we assume they know something we don't, so we buy. Then people start selling, panic sets in, and we sell too.

Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.

Cyberspace can't compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face.

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.
