Education and the Philosophical Ideal

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought from Abrahamic to Vedic.

Thus far we have considered the development of poise chiefly from the physical and mental sides, as matter of self-control and the economy of motion, but it is evident that the serene spiritual faith of the Friends and others whose lives reveal equanimity is in reality the prime cause of this priceless possession.
