Reverence For Greatness Dies Out,

The Double Law Of Attraction And Radiation Or Of Sympathy And Antipathy, Of Fixedness And Movement, Which Is The Principle Of Creation, And The Perpetual Cause Of Life.

Every Masonic Lodge Is A Temple Of Religion; And Its Teachings Are Instruction In Religion.

The Power Of A Free People Is Often At The Disposal Of A Single And Seemingly An Unimportant Individual; A Terrible And Truthful Power; For Such A People Feel With One Heart, And Therefore Can Lift Up Their Myriad Arms For A Single Blow. And, Again, There Is No Graduated Scale For The Measurement Of The Influences Of Different Intellects Upon The Popular Mind. Peter The Hermit Held No Office, Yet What A Work He Wrought!

To Sow, That Others May Reap; To Work And Plant For Those That Are To Occupy The Earth When We Are Dead; To Project Our Influences Far Into The Future, And Live Beyond Our Time; To Rule As The Kings Of Thought, Over Men Who Are Yet Unborn; To Bless With The Glorious Gifts Of Truth And Light And Liberty Those Who Will Neither Know The Name Of The Giver, Nor Care In What Grave His Unregarded Ashes Repose, Is The True Office Of A Mason And The Proudest Destiny Of A Man.

All The Great And Beneficent Operations Of Nature Are Produced By Slow And Often Imperceptible Degrees. The Work Of Destruction And Devastation Only Is Violent And Rapid.
