We from every religion feel comfortable in Britain because there is a host. The Church of England is a good host, it has been a major force in shaping England into such a tolerant society. – 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
Religion survives because it answers three questions that every reflective person must ask. Who am I? Why am I here? How then shall I live? – Jonathan Sacks
While we can remember the past, we cannot write the future. Only our children, the future of our community, can do that. – Jonathan Sacks
In the traditional urban novel, there is only survival or not. The suburban idea, the conformist idea, that agony can be seen to and cured by doctors or psychoanalysis or self-knowledge is nowhere to be found in the city. Talking is a way of life, but it is not a cure. Same with religion. – Jane Smiley
What the mayors care about is, How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint? – Michael Nutter
