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. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion.

And it is in such seasons that we realize our kinship to all who have struggled and toiled and overcome.

The man born rich, who never knows the strain and pain of poverty, cannot sympathize with millions of his fellow men who lie awake at night, anxious hearted and sleepless eyed, because of unsupplied material needs.

The man who has never known despondency cannot get into the inmost heart of his despondent brother and help him to rise above his fears and worries, showing him the way by which he himself has climbed.
