Work Only Can Keep Even

We Live Our Little Life; But Heaven Is Above Us And All Around And Close To Us; And Eternity Is Before Us And Behind Us; And Suns And Stars Are Silent Witnesses And Watchers Over Us. We Are Enfolded By Infinity.

Be Prudent, Diligent, Temperate And Discreet. Remember That Every Human Being Has A Claim Upon Your Kind Offices.

What We Have Done For Ourselves Alone Dies With Us; What We Have Done For Others And The World Remains And Is Immortal.

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

If, Anywhere, Brethren Of A Particular Religious Belief Have Been Excluded From This Degree [18° Knight Rose Croix], It Merely Shows How Gravely The Purposes And Plan Of Masonry May Be Misunderstood. For Whenever The Door Of Any Degree Is Closed Against Him Who Believes In One God And The Soul's Immortality, On Account Of The Other Tenets Of His Faith, That Degree Is Masonry No Longer.
