The Common Right Is Nothing More Or

It Is Not In The Books Of The Philosophers, But In The Religious Symbolism Of The Ancients, That We Must Look For The Footprints Of Science, And Re-discover The Mysteries Of Knowledge.

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.

Masonry Is Identical With The Ancient Mysteries

Two Forms Of Government Are Favorable To The Prevalence Of Falsehood And Deceit. Under A Despotism, Men Are False, Treacherous, And Deceitful Through Fear, Like Slaves Dreading The Lash. Under A Democracy They Are So As A Means Of Attaining Popularity And Office, And Because Of The Greed For Wealth.

Less Glory Is More Liberty. When The Drum Is Silent, Reason Sometimes Speaks.
