"Since the 18th century, many Western intellectuals have predicted religion’s imminent demise." ― Jonathan Sacks Topic(s): Religion Tags: century, since More From Jonathan Sacks "Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn’t help us know what to say." "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." "Freedom begins with what we teach our children. That is why Jews became a people whose passion is education, whose heroes are teachers and whose citadels are schools." More In Religion "Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage."― Frederick Buechner "After I left the convent, for 15 years I was worn out with religion, I wanted nothing whatever to do with it. I felt disgusted with it. If I saw someone reading a religious book on a train, I’d think, how awful."― Karen Armstrong "Happiness doesn’t depend on how much you have to enjoy, but how much you enjoy what you have."― Tom Wilson
