There Are Greater And Better

A Man Should Live With His Superiors As He Does With His Fire: Not Too Near, Lest He Burn; Nor Too Far Off, Lest He Freeze.

Masonry Is A Search After Light. That Search Leads Us Directly Back, As You See, To The Kabalah.

Above All Things Let Us Never Forget That Mankind Constitutes One Great Brotherhood; All Born To Encounter Suffering And Sorrow, And Therefore Bound To Sympathize With Each Other.

A Good Man Will Find That There Is Goodness In The World; An Honest Man Will Find That There Is Honesty In The World; And A Man Of Principle Will Find Principle And Integrity In The Hearts Of Others.

He Who Endeavors To Serve, To Benefit, And Improve The World, Is Like A Swimmer, Who Struggles Against A Rapid Current, In A River Lashed Into Angry Waves By The Winds. Often They Roar Over His Head, Often They Beat Him Back And Baffle Him. Most Men Yield To The Stress Of The Current... Only Here And There The Stout, Strong Heart And Vigorous Arms Struggle On Toward Ultimate Success.
