We Masons Are Among The Fortunate Ones

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.

The Word Well Spoken, The Deed Fitly Done, Even By The Feeblest Or Humblest, Cannot Help But Have Their Effect. More Or Less, The Effect Is Inevitable And Eternal.

Man's Real Genius And Knowledge Remains Preserved In Books

Every Masonic Lodge Is A Temple Of Religion; And Its Teachings Are Instruction In Religion.

Virtue Is But Heroic Bravery, To Do The Thing Thought To Be True, In Spite Of All Enemies Of Flesh Or Spirit, In Despite Of All Temptations Or Menaces.
