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. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

wonderful book, can make her child into what she wishes it to be.

It is a remarkable fact that the present growth of the cigarette habit among women is largely due to men. I know at least a score of men who have taught their wives to smoke. They declare it is "sociable" and makes the woman more "companionable."

Yet several of these men have been deeply concerned when the habit grew upon their wives.

A gifted and beautiful young wife of my acquaintance smokes so incessantly that she is obliged to take a "rest cure" in some sanitarium once or twice a year.

Then, after clearing her system of nicotine, she begins to fill it again. And never once does she admit to herself that the cigarette habit is the cause of her nervous breakdown. She always thinks it is due to her "artistic temperament" and over brain work.

It is to be regretted that women who occupy prominent positions in the world of society or of art do not feel the "noblesse oblige" which prevents a woman from placing her personal sanction on a habit which is an injury to the sex at large and to coming generations.
