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.

The resources of the earth rightfully belong to all mankind, without monopoly and at the least expense.

The power of money is not ultimate. It is a medium of exchange by which man has evolved the unequal social conditions of to-day, and is rightly used only when taken to represent the least expense at which articles essential to our common development can be produced.
