MASONIC THOUGHTS & WISDOM
"I am closing my address with a confession.
Since becoming a Freemason, I forgot hate. Instead,
I learned to love - to love God and my fellowman.
I am now at ease with my own conscience. I only
do what I think is right, and shun all evil.
I also forget fear. I can be alone no matter
where I am, what I do, or where I go.
A clean conscience makes a man brave. I hope
that Freemasonry has had the same influence
upon all of you, which is an assurance of a
better world to live in, and a happier humanity
to live with."
General
Emillio Aguinaldo, Filipino Hero,
addressing the Grand Lodge of the Philippines
in 1955 |

The
secrecy of Masonry is an
honorable secrecy;
any good man may ask for her
secrets; those who are
worthy will receive them.
To give them to those who do
not seek, or who are not
worthy, would but
impoverish the Fraternity and
enrich not those who received
them.

What
is Masonry?
by Bro. Walter H. Bonn, Victor, Iowa
It's
not a sign or handshake,
a hall where tilers sit,
It's not a guarded building,
where passwords will admit,
It's not a place of symbols,
which Wardens oft display,
It's not a lodge of members,
who meet in white array.
It
is the home of justice,
of liberty and truth,
Of loyalty to country,
of sympathy for youth,
Of succor for a brother,
of gentleness and cheer,
Of tolerance for neighbors,
whose life is often drear.

A
Lodge is not held together with steel bands,
but by the silken ties of brotherhood, woven
of
interest, friendliness, good times, wholesome
fraternal intercourse.
