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

out of expectant mothers every day in the year, either by indifference and neglect or absolute cruelty.

There is no time in life when a woman so needs the friendship of her husband as during this wonderful parental period.

If his heart is with her and he is unselfish, thoughtful and kind, and full of sympathy, then the months are the most beautiful, the most holy, the most sublime that can come to mortal.

If he is the reverse, they are one continual Gethsemane.

No man, however, sympathetic or wise in scientific knowledge, can form the least idea of the condition of a woman's nervous system at this time.

It is an experience only mothers can understand. Not one man in a hundred thousand ever hears the prenatal period referred to before he enters upon the duties of fatherhood himself.

Your education in this matter was probably neglected. I am trying to give you a kindergarten lesson right here.

For the sake of your unborn child, if not for the sake of human decency and the wife you married, let what I have said sink in, and make you treat your child's mother with affection and kindness until your baby is born.

Then if you cannot develop enough manhood to keep up the treatment I hope she will take her baby and go away where she can bring it up peacefully.

If you saw a man sticking pins into a small, helpless baby in its cradle would you not feel impelled to knock him down? Well, every time you say a cruel, mean word to your wife you are doing an act like that --- a coward's act.
