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.

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

The world will not, cannot, must not, stand still because a few slow and satisfied people have fallen into a groove and are dazed at the thought of essaying any other method of life.

Progress is like a mighty engine, and those who are standing in its way must be struck down. Safety can only be found in getting out of the way.

The man who attempted to start a large enterprise in the manufacture of sperm oil lamps after the arrival of gas as a means of illumination need not blame the gas company for his failure.

It was due to his own lack of perception.

The manufacture of gas fixtures would have brought him a fortune.

Always look for the opportunity lying in the wake of progress; do not undertake anything which means defiance to new inventions.

Do not imagine you can persuade the masses to stay behind with old fashions and old methods.
