New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought.

The woman who places any value on the worth of her own time or that of another, and displays it by economizing both, is worthy of a gold medal, so unusual a specimen is she.

Every word we utter means an expenditure of a certain amount of vital force; yet women waste this force as recklessly as if it were dross instead of pure gold.

They talk above, below and around the point at issue, using ten phrases to express what could be better said in one.

Woman's conception of the importance and value of time is conveyed in a smiling, "I know you are awfully busy, and I fear I am trespassing upon your time," while she immediately proceeds to talk for another half hour upon something which has nothing to do with the purpose of her call.

In social life the woman who flits from topic to topic like a butterfly from flower to flower, is delightful. She rests, entertains, amuses and often instructs her listeners.
