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.

Have you taught your boys that they are to wait for all women and all older people to pass through a door or into a public conveyance ? Or do you permit them to push and jostle their way through a company or crowd and monopolize the most desirable places in vehicles?

It is so seldom one finds an American lad of any class who steps aside to let a woman precede him in public places, that he attracts immediate attention when he is encountered.

The average boy thrusts his elbows against the ribs of the man or woman beside him and dives forward into car or omnibus at the risk of tripping the unwary or toppling over the weak, and if this occurs, no word of apology is ever heard from the lips of Master Stars and Stripes.
