Man Is Not To Be

Fictions Are Necessary For The People, And The Truth Becomes Deadly To Those Who Are Not Strong Enough To Contemplate It In All Its Brilliance. In Fact, What Can There Be In Common Between The Vile Multitude And Sublime Wisdom? The Truth Must Be Kept Secret, And The Masses Need A Teaching Proportioned To Their Imperfect Reason.

There Are Great Truths At The Foundation Of Freemasonry, Truths Which It Is Its Mission To Teach And Which Is Constituting The Very Essence Of, That Sublime System Which Gives The Venerable Institution Its Peculiar Identity As A Science Of Morality, And It Behooves Every Disciple Diligently To Ponder And Inwardly Digest.

All Religious Expression Is Symbolism.

Toleration, Holding That Every Other Man Has The Same Right To His Opinion And Faith That We Have To Ours; And Liberality, Holding That As No Human Being Can With Certainty Say, In The Clash And Conflict Of Hostile Faiths And Creeds, What Is Truth, Or That He Is Surely In Possession Of It, So Everyone Should Feel That It Is Quite Possible That Another Equally Honest And Sincere With Himself, And Yet Holding The Contrary Opinion, May Himself Be In Possession Of The Truth.

Hypocrisy Is The Homage That Vice And Wrong Pay To Virtue And Justice .
