Jonathan Sacks Quotes

The world is moving faster and faster, but where are we going?

It is hard to say what the future holds, but this is probable - it won't be just like the past.

Every thinker puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril and no one can wholly predict what will emerge in its place.

I find that all over the world, not only is there an acceleration of just about everything, but that many of the old patterns are deconstructing. New ones are arising. It's tremendously exciting, challenging, and also sometimes, well, scary.

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.

We are reinventing the world. We've set the ball spinning with little concern for where and how it's going to stop.

The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be.

The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.

I couldn't tell you what I am going to do next 'cause I have no idea, but I am open to anything.

Events often move faster than our ability to comprehend them.

If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow.

Sometimes history speeds up..

Change is certain. Progress is not.

The new frontier is here whether we seek it or not.

I get asked all the time, What do you do differently than 10 years ago, or what will you do differently in the years to come?' In the years to come, I have no idea.

Regardless of politics, our world will continue to change rapidly.

Everything changes with time. You can't predict where you're gonna be next year; you have no idea, you know what I mean?

Things are constantly evolving, and anything could happen. And that's exciting to me.

What will happen to me, as the oyster said when he very inadvertently swallowed the gooseberry bush, nobody can tell.

The future is a fog that is still hanging out over the sea, a boat that floats home or does not. The trade winds blow me, and I do not know where the land is; the waves fold over each other; they are in love with themselves; sleeping in their own skin; and I float over them and I do not know about tomorrow.

We can know a lot. And still, no doubt, there are rash and wonderful ideas brewing somewhere; there are many surprises yet to come.

To most of us the future seems unsure. But then it always has been; and we who have seen great changes must have great hopes.

Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page.

For whatever the future holds, one thing is certain... It just won't be the same.

It so happens that the world is undergoing a transformation to which no change that has yet occurred can be compared, either in scope or in rapidity.
