Everything Actual Must Also First Have Been

Masonry Is Identical With The Ancient Mysteries

The Spoken Discourse May Roll On Strongly As The Great Tidal Wave; But, Like The Wave, It Dies At Last Feebly On The Sands. It Is Heard By Few, Remembered By Still Fewer, And Fades Away, Like An Echo In The Mountains, Leaving No Token Of Power. It Is The Written Human Speech, That Gave Power And Permanence To Human Thought.

Phenomena Are Constantly Folded Back Upon Themselves.

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

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