Ella Wheeler Wilcox's

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

voice instead of a loud screech. You will benefit both the people of to-day, and the animal of tomorrow by this course.

Tell them the truth; that animals are very sensitive to noise; that a horse is a timid and loving creature, and that a loud, harsh voice frightens it and hinders it from doing its duty or obeying its owner. A low voice and a gentle hand will make any horse, if taken in time, faithful, willing and safe. A horse will do twice the work and live twice the time in good health, if it is treated with respect, gratitude and love by its owner. Teach this to your children while they are playing with their toys. They will never forget it.

The warden of the Connecticut State prison is a wonderfully good and wise man. He is a student of human nature. He said to visitors one day, if a child is properly educated to the age of ten, no matter what its inheritance, it never becomes a criminal. He did not mean that children sent to fine schools, and given tutors and great advantages, never became criminals.

He meant that children, guided in their thoughts and ideas by wise teachers and parents, should have right ideals, right feelings, and right desires. Children should be taught consideration of the rights of other creatures. That sentence includes all the needed preventives of crime.

 

Luck is the tuning of our inmost thought

To chord with God's great plan.
