Ella Wheeler Wilcox's

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.

If you earn enough to save a few dollars a month out of your wages, make a rule of investing at least one dollar in some good cause for humanity. Do not give it to the first street beggar or the first professional letter-writer who asks --- that will be encouraging pauperism --- but find some one more needy than yourself or more unfortunate, and plant your seed of generosity both for the sake of the one who will be benefited and for your own moral growth.

While the deplorable and unworthy conditions continue to exist which make "tipping" waiters and domestics in restaurants and hotels an accepted part of service, do not try to shirk this custom.

If you can afford to frequent such places (with no matter what economy) you can afford to "tip" your attendant. You can never reform the country nor institute new laws by denying a waiter a fee, though many "reformers" go no farther than this in their efforts at Socialism.

And you can dwarf your own nature by trying to save a few dimes and quarters in this mean and unworthy fashion.

Give something, a few pennies, if no more, now and then, to aid the animal protective society and the humane educational organizations.

Children and animals never impose upon charity, and you may be sure whatever you do in their behalf is well bestowed.
