That Which We Say And

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.

Reverence For Greatness Dies Out, And Is Succeeded By Base Envy Of Greatness.

We Avoid Sensuousness, Only By Resorting To Simple Negation. We Come At Last To Define Spirit By Saying That It Is Not Matter.

Nothing Excites Men's Curiosity So Much As Mystery, Concealing Things Which They Desire To Know; And Nothing So Much Increases Curiosity As Obstacles That Interpose To Prevent Them From Indulging In The Gratification Of Their Desires. Of This The Legislators And Hierophants Took Advantage, To Attract The People To Their Sanctuaries, And To Induce Them To Seek To Obtain Lessons From Which They Would Perhaps Have Turned Away With Indifference If They Had Been Pressed Upon Them.

We Must Pass Through The Darkness, To Reach The Light.
