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

It is useless to quote the cases of repulsive men and women, badly attired, unkempt and unwashed, who have achieved glory and fame and obtained power over men and circumstances. There may be such cases; but it requires transcendental genius, and hypnotic power, to produce such results with such conditions.

Very plain, even ugly people, often possess an attractive personality. But they are well groomed and well dressed.

It is not physical beauty of a classical type that is under discussion, as a necessary factor in success. It is a well-cared-for body, and decent and tastefully worn clothing.

There is nothing gained by a reformer, when he appeals to the minds and hearts of people with an impassioned appeal for humanity, and offends their eyes with uncombed hair and disorderly dress.

A woman who gave her life to the helping of the oppressed, used to lose half her influence by appearing before audiences attired in a slip-shod manner, and with locks of straggling, unkempt hair.
