Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Everything actual must also first have been possible, before having actual existence.
Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks.
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
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.
