THE HERO AND THE SAINT
The late great German-born American Jewish rationalist intellectual, popular lecturer and writer, religious leader, and social reformer, Felix Adler (1851 - 1933), starts things off well when he said, "The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men [and, women] to see by! The saint is the [person] who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself [or, herself] a light!"
