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.

Cleopatra was not beautiful, according to the artist's ideal. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that she lacked size, symmetry and youth, when she wielded her most powerful sway over men and nations.

Nobody knows how Helen of Troy looked, but the statement has been made by learned men that she was past forty when she turned the world into a theater where a continuous performance of battle took place on her account.
