THE WISDOM OF THE SAINTS  
** **
“There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge of the world.”
—Saint Teresa of Avila

The saints’ lives represent the divine will on earth, and their words offer hope when we are uncertain, security when we feel unsafe, and wisdom when we need it most. Here on these pages is a treasury of inspirational guidance on such diverse subjects as work, love, money, fear, indecision, peace, freedom, compassion, politics, health, and more. Drawn from the traditions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism, The Wisdom of the Saints offers enlightenment that transcends all boundaries—hope that speaks to all of us, no matter what faith we follow.
 
“The most deadly poison of our times is indifference.” –Saint Maximilian Kolbe
