Tom Stanks, a Doctor of Theology, garners a treasury of insights from the world's literature. He begins with play with his father and continues to sift selections as he travels his spiritual journey. Throughout he regularly comments on the quote or group of quotes. In one chapter you find Franklin Delano Roosevelt's comment when our country was in deep depression: Without the help of thousands of others, anyone of us would die naked and starved. In another chapter, you hear the Sufi Master, Kabir, Behold but One in all things; it is the second that leads you astray. In yet another chapter, you smile with Abraham Lincoln's lighter side, No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens. Tom began keeping a journal in junior high school moved by a teacher he admired. He continued throughout his life inspired by other teachers and respected elders. When Tom was asked why over his long life, he recorded so many quotes, he says: Ideas for a great cause have always inspired me. I think unconsciously they worked in me to ruminate over a grand goal I could dedicate myself toward.
